5 mm front wheel spacer

I have OEM CSL wheels and thinking of getting 5 mm spacer for the front to match the rear offset better. I wonder do I need a hub extender to avoid vibration? OEM CSL wheels have bevel wheel hub that will leave less than 5 mm to support the wheels. I appreciate comments from folks running spacers.

TIA

I'm using 5mm front spacers with OEM wheels that have the beveled bore, and had vibration before adding hub extenders. I went with the TMS extenders.

It all depends on the wheel. I have wheels with bevelled bore and I am able to use 5mm spacers without extenders.

In case you are using a stud kit, I am able to mount 74.1 wheels without hubcentric rings. The wheel centers better on studs.

I run 5mm spacers for my track wheels (to clear the front strut w/my camber and to avoid rubbing in rear).

I run studs and never experienced vibrations
