Front Wheel Spacers for 9000 Aero MY97

Hi, just after some opinions and advice regarding wheel spacers for a Saab 9000 Aero. My Aero is reasonably modified suspension-wise. It is running the Abbott Racing Sports suspension (Koni adjustables & springs). The car runs AZEV A 17' x 7.5'wheels with 225/45 x 17 tyres. I am in the process of fitting a set of WPPRO 336mm rotors with 6 pot calipers and have a caliper clearance issue. Its the width of the caliper touching the inside lower edge of the Azev A spokes. Looks like I will require between a 4mm to 6mm wheel spacer each side. My concern is the additional spacing may cause fender rubbing and clearance issues with the ARM sports suspension. I am also concerned about the overall affects the spacers will have on suspension geometry and durability. Can someone assist me ion understanding the pros and cons of wheel spacers (albeit thin spacers) on a front whel drive car and especially on my 9000 Aero (MY97). Thnx in advance. Cheers
