H&R Wheel Spacers

[M5pilot]

I've seen a few people using these now and need to know what difference wheel spacers make.

Obvioulsy the track is widened but does anyone actually know what difference this makes to handling characteristics?

What difference would it make if the rear track is widened or the front in isolation?

What if both front and rear are widended but the rears a little more?

i'm running slightly wider spacers on the rear and i dont feel its made any difference.

i had noticed the front was very heavy when running 20mm but have since changed to 10mm and its loads better.

thats weird Dave

as i have 20mm on the front as its all i could get hold of
they are proper fit and hubcentric
but the steering feels so light its almost scarey

strange yours felt heavy??

maybe its because your cars lowered and mine isnt??

sorry to chuck a spanner in sal
but mine are going theyre not h&r i did look at these but couldnt get em delivered in time

my advice is if ya have to use em keep em small

forget all the 20mm stuff

Just to add to Dazleeds post

Use studs and not bolts. And that i would expect the steering to become heavy also.

Daz, might have something to do with me being a nancy too!

Anyone that actually knows what the theory behind it all is? What in theory should happen?

Someone must have books to refer to.

the effect that wheel spacers will have will vary between cars due to you probably having diffent offset wheels.
