Depends on what you use the car for. By adding a front spacer you change the front suspension geometry which affects your scrub radius. Ideally you would get wheels with a different offset.

Scrub radius will change with a different wheel offset aswell you just have less weight and parts.

I found the increase in scrub radius (15mm) to be a god send for front end steering feel.
