Is it safe to run 5mm spacers?
It will be safe. While I have switched to extended studs which makes it less of an issue, 5mm spacers are not going to affect the holding power of the lug bolts much. If you are concerned, you can buy 10 extended lug bolts to recapture what is lost.
Do I need longer wheel bolts for 3mm spacers?
