5mm spacers in stock studs

Just wondering if 5mm spacers up front fits to stock studs.
Installed coilovers last night and front is slightly sunken in, so i purchased 5mm spacers to give more of flushness.

I have enkei raijin 18x8.5 +45 Front and 18x9.5 +45 rear.

I personally would not run any more than a 3mm spacer on stock studs. You may be able to dial some camber out of it once you get an alignment.

3mm spacers on stock, high quality bolt ons, or decent ones with the studs pressed out and ARP extended lugs if you want to do more than 3mm.

Generally 3mm is max.
However you have to keep in mind something: spacer thickness is not what matters, it's how many full turns of thread you can get with your lug nuts.

Without knowing secondary info such as wheel lug seat thickness, it's hard to tell you definitively if 5mm is safe or not.
