And your handling won't feel right with the spacers.

That's what I heard from someone running them. Maybe Srce can explain more instead of just posting an icon, since he does nothing but read about this stuff.

Its true..the cars "neutrality" is gone with the spacres. Just keep your hands on the wheel!



Either use H&R 25 mm spacers, or the Corksport 25mm spacers. Those are both hubcentric.
