Why are you wanting to fit spacers and what sort of size? IMO Spacers are a bodge, either get wider wheels or change the hub. I know lots of people have used spacers without issue but using longer bolts (DONT EVEN THINK OF USING THE ORIGINALS!) will invariably add another potential weakspot on the car.

how thick a spacer are you talking about.
you do get ones that sit on the hub like the wheel so they are straight and put less strain on the wheel bearings and hub. the cheaper metal shim spacers are more a bodge.

if your after changing the PCD from 4X ### to 5 X ### then id say change the hubs rather than using adaptors
