Question Need Input with those of you driving with wheel spacers

Hey guys,

So i have an 07 coupe sport with stock 19's currently running on 235/35/19F with 275/35/19R

I want to add wheel spacers to get that fresh flush look, and will NOT be lowering the car yet.

So my question for those of you who have them on is, Does having wheel spacers take away

from the handling ability in any way shape or form from the car?!?

i.e. would i have to take turn/curves any slower?

P.s i used the search function & found nothing

in short, no. all you're doing is adding metal onto the back of the wheel, which some wheel companies do anyways to lower the offsets of their wheels.

Lower it or don't do it. Stock wheels that don't tuck at stock height look ridiculous.

Spacers widen your cars stance so they will increase traction if it does anything (which It probably doesn't)

traction has to do with tires, not how wide your stance is. widening your stance still allows for the same amount of rubber to touch the ground. toe and camber, on the other hand..
