I recommend a spacer at least 5mm thick if you plan to track your car, bed in your brakes, or do anything that gets them really hot.
Also with the 4mm washers, I wouldn't recommend using the pads until they are completely worn out since the inboard side pistons will be sticking quite far out of the caliper by the time the friction material is gone and the rotor face is worn to minimum.
Maybe I'm a little paranoid for a street driven car, and for the record I'm likely going to keep the 4mm washers. BUT, I will be keeping an eye on things as the brakes wear.
