Default Wheel Spacers?

I have a 2010 with the oem 18" wheels (245/40/18 all seasons).
The tires just don't seem to sit quite close enough to the edge of the fender well. I am considering wheel spacers but this is just an aesthetic improvement and not worth causing any damage.

Does anyone know the pros/cons of spacers? What are the best brands? Will they nullify aspects of the warranty? Etc.

Thanks.

Spacers should be fine as long as you don't go too extreme. Just be sure you will have clearance and as well as get an alignment after the install and you should be good to go.

Thanks of the info. After reading some of the comments about wheel vibration, I've pretty much decided against the modification. I haven't experienced any problems but if I do, I don't want to give the service dept. any reason to blame me.
