Default need some advise please

my brother said i can have some 5mm spacers, hes got 2 of them, thought it might look better on the back axle as they are quite sunk in on a blobeye, will this affect it in any way or make it better?
any help appreciated

I wouldn't have thought 5mm will make any visible difference.

Why would you want to put spacers in? For what purpose?

Subaru put the wheels where they are for a reason, you know?

It would make it potentially more dangerous by placing more load on your studs.

Not sure insurance company would be happy.

why not buy the spacers what go over your exsisting hub? prob between 70-80 per set, but as stated your studs are not going have any extra load on them this way. but you can get 10mm and 20mm spacers
