Do you want to stand the tire up straighter (more vertical) or do you want more camber (tipped in more at the top). The washers will push the top of the wheel out, giving less camber, but more tire life.

well i broke down and bought a front camber kit, but decided spacers behind the bolts will be good for the back..and yes i want the top of the tire farther out, giving the tire a straighter look, and better tire wear..2washers sound about right..thanks

You can't correct the front camber with washers.
