wheel spacers

[jjj]

Interesting replies to my previous thread when i asked about the pros and cons of spacers on a gs.The replies indicated there
were no pros and I removed them however, I have noticed a change in my GS handling since their removal as the car handled better with them on ,any views

I ran spacers on my 4200, but don't on my GS. On the 4200 I found they made a noticeable difference to the handling, though I also dropped it on the springs around the same time, so this will have been a large contributing factor. It also improves the appearance on the 4200 as at the standard spring height, the wheels look a little lost under the arches. The GS setup is more sorted in stock format and also 10 mill' lower, but I would think they would still give marginally better handling. Did you notice an increase in stone chips onto the leading edge of the rear arches when you had them on? You could also try spacers just on the rears if you want to play around a bit. It'll improve the turn in.

How wider are your spacers JJJ? I had 15mm all round with extended bolts.
