The hub is what supports the wheel in place (the wheel bolts simply hold the wheel firmly onto the hub) and takes the weight of the car. So the hub is important. You will probably want to remove your wheels and measure how much the hub protrudes currently, and if that will allow you to fit 5mm spacers and still have enough meat there to do its job.
I still recon you should find another set of wheels that are 1) better quality and 2) the right offset so you dont have to stuff around with spacers. Ive only ever used spacers on stock rims to push them out to fill out the guards better, but if buying aftermarket wheels you would be crazy to not just buy the correct offset to begin with.
In saying that, I have used 5mm spacers with a pass-through-hub design on a Mazda 3 a few years back and they worked fine in that instance.
If you do end up buying anything from Mode Auto Concepts use the code MODEMATES for 5% off. They sent me a card with this discount code on it for something I bought recently.
