5mm would probably be safest. If you go too wide you'll run out of thread for the lugnuts.

I really wouldn't run them unless I had to.
Like vincent said, you can run out of thread, I believe you can also mess up the hub if you run ones that are too big. With how flimsy the whole drivetrain and suspension are, I'd be a little concerned with putting even more stress on anything.

the way i think of it, if they fit, then they are not to big, and i don't think that you can do any damage with 5-10mm
i also had an idea of doing them in 5 mm, and if there is more room i could just put 2 of them on.

I would really caution against putting "two" spacers on one wheel. If 10mm isn't too big, just get one 10mm spacer. You want a good, solid base for your wheel to sit on. The more you add to the hub that isn't rim is going to make it unstable. No matter how tight it seems when you put the lug nuts on.
