i agree. the fronts tend to do this. a 5mm spacer ought to take care of that, imo.
IMO, spacers are a bad idea unless you put longer studs in to compensate. Whoever installed the rims that are on my car used a 1/4" spacer on the fronts, and with that spacer, I only had 1/4" of stud biting into the lug nut. Buddy of mine told me my wheel was wobbling (had a nasty shimmy @ 60 in the steering wheel too), thought the wheel might've been bent. When I got home, I pulled the wheel and found a spacer. Thought maybe it was there to clear the rim with the caliper, but I took the spacer off and put the wheel back on and it spun freely....so I was confused as to why they were there in the first place. I also found out that because such little stud was engaging the nut, it thrashed the threads on the lug nuts 1/4" in...had to buy all new lug nuts. Anywho, ditched both spacers and all has been happy since. Even got rid of that shimmy I had.
The moral of the story....don't run spacers unless you absolutely have to....and even then, use longer lugs to compensate. That's not an area where you want to be mickey-mousing around with parts on.
