5mm can be okay if you have at least 10mm of thread, but 10mm spacers are dangerous without longer studs.

This is the thread I was reading from:
Add offset/spacer to stock wheels? - Unofficial Honda FIT Forums

Hootie, DSM, and Jodele drop some knowledge for potential 10mm spacers by pressing out the studs and putting in longer ones.

I'd probably start with 5mm and see if that fits my tastes before jumping to the effort of putting in 10mm (vs just buying different wheels with offset).

you can still reverse it by installing new studs later if you change your mind.

it's up to you. GL!
