I bought 5mm for front and 15mm for back. The front ones are leveled and the back one has some kind of wheel sitting embossment.

Is it OK that the front 5mm ones are flat - without this embossment.

Is it dangerous to run 5mm in the front, because the serial embossment for the wheel is then smaller. I have brembos and 5mm spacers are a must have.

I hope you know what I mean.

sounds right, plenty of people run 5mm spacers on front with no/little problem

I did a search and found out https://www.evolutionsports.com/products.cfm?catID=50 for SEAT IBIZA Wheel spacers.

They have 5mm and 15mm hubcentric spacers which are the H&R TraX+ for 4X100 which fit the IBIZA MK3 along with longer bolts that they are needed to fit. 35mm for the 5mm front spacer and 45mm for the rear spacers.

5mm and 15mm along with 8 bolts for each spacer set is available for 170 US$ so I guess its a great deal.

Front hubs have shallower hub engagement so I would go no more than 5mm to retain 'some' wheel hub engagement. Check also that your wheels hub centres (likely to be loose rings) are at the outermost edge so therefore likely to actually engage on the remaining hub. ~3mm

Rears should be hubcentric and 15mm is the narrowest hubcentric soacer you can fit on the rear stubs.
