I want to put spacers on my 94 celica GT but i went to tire discount and they dont recommend it, should i believe that ? are they safe when it comes to wearing out arms and bushings ?

All spacers and wheels with lower offset than OE spec will wear your bushings and suspension components.
The farther away the wheel is from the said part, the more stress it will cause on suspension components. Try grabbing a 5lb dumb bell to your chest. It's easy right? Now try holding that same dumbbell with your arm stretched outward for more than 20 seconds. The same thing happens to your suspension components. With that said, there's a reason why polyurethane bushings exist  Aftermarket setups require aftermarket suspension modifications, or replacement of worn OE suspensions.
