I've got a 30d M Sport with staggered 369M's, has anyone considered using wheel spacers? I think the track looks a bit narrow overall when compared with the body...if each wheel had an increase in offset of 20-25mm it would look much better (IMHO)
I'm not sure about spacers, I've never used them before, do they have an adverse effect on handling / steering? I've found these items, they look very well made and still allow the use of the OE wheel bolts: http://www.schmiedmann.com/13098S/pr...uctnumber.aspx Comments much appreciated. ![]()

Putting on spacers will change scrub radius http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius
You should be fine with those spacers though, I've always swapped wheels and pushed them out with spacers without any noticeable ill effect.
