More clearence at the front wheel
My car has a lot more clearance between the front wheel and the wheel arch than the rear wheel and the wheel arch. Would there be any problem with running a 20mm spacer up front and 15mm spacer in the rear if there's no rubbing while driving over bumps or when on full steering lock?
I have read on drift forums that this can make the back end more lively. |

Even with 15mm at the back I still have a bit of rubbing on the left side over bumps!?
Now that the tyres have broken in a bit the car seems happier in the turns but I have the 15mm to go on the front now. |

Finally got the second set of 15mm spacers for the front. Running 20mm at the front felt very twitchy at the rear. Great for drifting I imagine but felt dangerous at speed. Car is now square again and feels solid. It's amazing what a difference 10mm can make!
