5mm spacers ok with stock bolts?

Hey everyone,

I just got some 5mm spacers. I didnt get the bolts; but someone told me that it'd be cool to run the spacers w/ the stock bolts. I need advice

is anyone else running 5mm spacers with the stock bolts?

I'd go with the longer bolts to be absolutely safe, it's a small cost for such a crucial part IMO.
