as no-one has answered this I'll guess and say yes.

Maybe best if nobody answers to go to the garage and ask. Did you get them balanced with the spacers on or off when you got the spacers?

Surely if the wheels were balanced when they were fit to the car before then they will be no different and the only way they could be different now is because you are matching them with different spacers.

No need to balance with the spacers. If there is something wrong with a spacer that causes wheel wobble then balance weights arent gong to help.

^ as above. Not to mention that weights compensate for balance issues on fixed points of a wheel/tyre. Since the spacer isn't permanently attached to the wheel, it won't be a fixed point, and any weights you add to compensate for problems with your spacers will immediately be in the wrong place as soon as the spacer slides/moves when you take the wheel off the balancer to fit it to the car. You're actually *more* likely to have problems.
