Depending on how thick spacers you want depends on which type would be best. 15mm or less you'll be better off with longer bolts and hubcentric ones. Anymore and you'll want the bolt to hub hubcentric ones. As said above, unless your running stupidly thick spacers they wont have much affect on your wheel bearings.
I would say 10mm or less for longer bolts, 15mm or more you want the bolt to hub type
and will slightly increase wear on bearings etc but nothing noticeable unless you have it slammed on its arse with -10 degrees of camber iirc
Why's everyone saying they're for looks only?
Swear loads of people run spacers on their track cars because they improve handling?

Some comedy responses in here. Unless they are ridiculously big spacers they will neither noticeably damage your bearings nor ruin the ride. In fact, they will improve your handling.
I run 15mm spacers all round (eibach hubcentric) and longer bolts will be fine for road driving. If being used on track, I'd get the Pure MS stud kit.

Lol, some classic CS idiot opinions in here. Spacers must be soo bad for your car, that even clio racecars use them to make their cars handle worse...
Brilliant.

Wheel spacers will increase bearing wear and will throw out steering geometry (size dependant) but if using modest spacers then there's no difference to fitting a low offset wheels. Lets face it nobody chooses a wheel offset to give them the best geometry they do it for looks. Fitting big spacers to a racecar has the affect of smaller ARB's as the wheel has more leverage and changes KPI, scrub angles etc. Will Joe blogs notice I don't know.
