Spacers on the rears for the 270m oem set

Hi:

I was switching to winter wheels and and spacers on my rear aftermarket summers. I've decided to use the same spacers on the oem 270m wheels since I would have to change to shorter bolts which I didn't have at the time.

Is it worthwhile getting shorter bolts and eliminating spacers or would it be fine the way it is?

with the spacers.. the wheels will be closer to the outer fenders.. so you will fling up more salt / snow / debris with the spacers on.

i would remove the spacers and use your stock bolts.

What size spacers? I have winter wheels with the same specs as the 270Ms and I am using 15mm spacers in the rear. 18x8 ET20 needs spacers badly in the rear.
