Spacers?

I know this has probably already been discussed but I couldn't find the thread. I have the stock enkei's (evo 8) and I want to use a spacer for a more aggressive look, but not so much that it rubs or throws of the geometry of the suspension. 5 or 10mm seems to be what I have heard is the way to go. Suggestion, comments, suggestions on which brand is good would be appreciated.

according to Road Race Engineering, don't go wider than 10mm even if you have extended threads

If you use a 10mm spacer, do you need to replace the lugs with longer ones?

Oh, right. I totally mean studs. I've been looking at some spacers and a lot of them come with studs anyway. The cheapest one that I found is sold by Racing Brake but they don't come with studs. Those can be found here: http://www.racingbrake.com/MITSUBISHI_s/3232.htm A set that I found to come with spacers are about twice as expensive. Those are here: http://www.racerwheel.com/wheels-whe...itsubishi.html
