Default Resulting handling ?

Hi guy's,can any handling experts help me .I have just fitted a k sport brake kit to the front of my rb5 and had to fit a 10mm wheel spacer kit for my non standard wheels to clear the calipers so now have a 20mm wider track on the front end.What is this going to do to the handling and steering,will i notice any difference?Many thanks,Glyn

By altering the steering geometry you may have reduced the "feel" at the wheel, but a wider track should only help with the handling.

IMHO.
