From what Tony Bones was saying 5mm are fine but any bigger can throw your wheels well out and he does not recommed them...

Have just ordered 5mm ones for the back, gonna see how it looks and if the fronts don't look right then will get another set for the front, maybe 3mm

spacers of any sort on a supra make it feel like each wheel has its own mini steering wheel being controlled by drunken smurfs .. and the thing you're holding onto inside the car is just for decoration ... bye bye handling of any sort

Drunk smurfs lol smurfette!!
Chris did you have any handling issues with the 5mm spacers, this is why stav suggested to get hubcentric spacers to avoid balancing issues!

i believe that the nut should turn 5 complete turns for it to be safe.
