Default spacers??

can you put wheel spacers on an all wheel drive car??

I've used them on rwd cars with no problems and I guess you can but anyone got any experience of how it affects handling - if at all??

thanks,

J...

yes you can , would have thought it would handle better, can give bearings a hard time though depending how big your spacers are

I was thinking about 20mm on the rears and maybe 10mm on the fronts

can you stagger the set up on the wrx without problems or is the original setup that finely balanced ??

i'm guessing that a 10mm difference wouldnt make a huge difference??

I`d say no. I`m making an educated guess that with it being AWD you`ll need to fit 10mm all around or 20mm all around.

Doesn't make an ounce of difference what size spacer is on what wheel,you could have a 5mm on the front and 30mm on the rear if you wanted.
