I ran 5mm spacers on my R33 skyline for 2 years without any issues. Plenty of thread still on the studs, never had balance issues, so I would just do this.. also will fill out your guards slightly more! :)

You'll also likely find that adjustable coilovers are also illegal, as well as you have more than likely reduced the vehicle height to less than 2/3 the original suspension travel which is illegal (as stated by VIC Roads in their modifying guidelines section 5) without modification certificate...

The point i'm making is that even seemingly simple modifications are technically illegal, so dont worry about that side of things ;)

i am guessing your running some pretty aggressive chamber to have this issue.

maybe try backing off a little and check the clearance
Not a soobi anymore, but still slightly dirty
