Do I need spacers with 4th gen 5 spokes.

I am thinking about getting a set of 4th gen 5 spoke rims from a trade but the person I am trading with is not sure if spacers are needed. How would I be able to know if I need them with out auctually mounting them? Is there a list somewhere? I tried to search but couldent find anything specific. If I need spacers how much are they and where can I buy them? Any help is greatly appriciated.
TIA
Dennis

You'll Need 2in spacers, i forgot the website adress but its like
$300 for 4 2'' adapters w/ studs.
I know www.hawksthirdgenparts.org sells them, but they're more expensive
You can use the same 2" adapters on C5 rims.

When you run spacers with bigger rims does it affect the wear on the wheel bearings and things? I'm just wondering.

Thanks,
Mike
