Default Please somebody tell me that I CAN use spacers on my wheels...

I'm using my stock wheels as my snow set. after I took my summer set, of course, it didn't look nearly as cool. I was trying to figure out why. The Avis wheels are not bad looking at all (IMO). But i finally realized, the reason the car looks wimpy is because the wheels are about a foot in from the wheel wells. (Well, maybe not a foot, maybe more like 10 or 15mm.) But, keeping in mind that I don't push my car too hard with my snow tires on it, can i get away with putting a good quality set of hubcentric spacers on it, just to make it look a little better? Either 10mm or 15mm. I know some people say it's not great to use spacers unless you have to, but what do y'all think? TIA.
