agree with derf - spacers are the cheap and shoddy way to combat improper offset. unless they attach securely to the wheel or hub prior to putting everything together, you are just adding a loose part in a critical location.
another thing to consider is damage to your wheel bearings - the longer lever-arm you create by adding positive offset means more force on the hub. but that goes for adding offset, whether in wheel spacer or simply purchasing new wheels.
my opinion: sell your current wheels and purchase properly sized ones - it'll probably cost you less than getting 4 high-quality spacers, and it's one fewer item to worry about.
