The pros to spacers are a wider track for better stability and sometimes to fit a Big Brake system.

The cons are the extra wear it can put on your wheel bearings if the centerline of the wheel is pushed too far out of spec.

I have heard of people having no problems with 5mm spacers, but I have also seen people go all the way up to 15mm. I would imagine that is a bit much...

I have 15mm on the front and 18mm on the rear. It really makes the car feel more stable and there seems to be less body roll in the corners. I don't see how spacers are any harder on wheel bearings than the huge rims and tires I've seen so many people putting on their cars.
