Genarally I would say no spacers but it really depends on how wide of a spacer and also the type of spacer (hub centric or slip on).

Actually, 5mm spacers are more dangerous than good, hubcentric 15mm spacers, so this poll is really silly.

Note: as I pointed out in a different thread, there's no such thing as a 5mm hubcentric spacer. There are 5mm spacers that fit around the hub snugly, but there's no way for them to still fit perfectly inside the wheel.
