I haven't tried yet to see if it lines up with the rotor fastener. If it does line up should I try to find an appropriate length bolt and fasten it to the rotor? Will using it make a significant enough difference in balance to cause vibrations?

If I recall correctly there are two rotor fasteners on my current 5mm spacers.

my understanding is that four hoes is best. one is not enough, and two will fight. if you have three then two will gang up on the third, and not many folks can afford five, so four is appropriate.

rotors have two fasteners as well. don't think balance is an issue. the fasteners are not a strength thing, they are just there to keep the openings aligned for the wheel bolts.
