Is it ok to fit spacers on a syncro ?

Like it says really.....
Im swapping my 14" Carat alloys, ET 30, for a set of 15" steels.  They fit over the hubs etc but the offset on the steels is 55 so I'm going to need some 20mm spacers allround.
Am I likely to put any additional wear on the cvs and drive at the front?
Sorry if it's a daft question, but I don't want to bo**ocks things up.

(Forgot to say they're van wheels rated at 780kg per wheel and the tyres are 101 load rated, just so we don't go there again)

That's what I was hoping, but thought I'd best check first,

It looks like the studs from the carats on at the moment will be good for the spacers, but I need to do some "proper" measuring when I get some time this week.

I've read good & bad about the weight/strength of the C class steels, it would be a cheaper way round from steels to start with, but I think I'd end up with long studs sticking out

Cheers for the suggestion though; do you mean you have some Merc 15s spare now you've got the alloy 16s?
