Default Wheel spacers

Has anyone put 5-10mm wheel spacers on to fill the arches ?

Had to use 10mm spacers to clear the brembo calipers with my previous wheels, the wheels stuck out from the arch and did not look quite right and the car did not feel quite right. However I would consider a 5mm spacer on the rear to fill the arch better.

i have 10mm spacers to clear brembos, cant say it really looks much different ...

as for driving, wouldnt even know they are on.

correct me if im wrong, but i didnt think you could get hubcentric ones below 10mm??

If there not hubcentric, i wouldnt entertain them.
