Questions on suspension setup

I am running oem 19s with 245/35 and 255/40 in the rear, I've heard that closer width front and rear will decrease some undeersteer. Car does seem a little more tail happy with this setup.

Anyways, I hate the gap between the fenders with oem 19s and I just bought tires so I want to run them at lest a year before buying new wheels. That being said I'm thinking of just getting Ichiba 25mm spacers in the rear and leaving the front normal. I don't think the front is too bad also I want to be cheap since I really do plan on getting new wheels later.

Is it bad to just run spacers in the rear, I mean 25mm is almost an inch too so to me it seems I'm really starting to mess up my suspension setup. I mean the difference in width of tires is one thing and now I'd have the rear sitting almost 2 inchs wider than the front.

Also I plan on ordering a Hotchkis sway bar set. What do you guys think of what will be happening to my suspension.

I take corners hard a lot, will wheel spacers run the potential of breaking studs since all the weight of the wheels are on the studs?

Thanks

Your suspension...............

Installing the sways will decrease the body roll or at least it did with the
Stillen sways I have. I don't know what to tell you about using spacers
because I'm not in favor of using them.....at all!! Lowering a G is one thing
if you can maintain factory settings but messing with the geometry of the
car isn't advisable.......not to me!
