border-color

I have an Li Style as follows:

li{
    display:inline-block;
    padding:5px;
    border:1px solid none;
}
li:hover{
    border:1px solid #FC0;
}

I need that when I hover over the Li the border appears without making the li's shift around. I sit possible to have a 'border' that's not visible?
