Wheel Spacers - performance issues?
Hi.

Does anybody know if installing recommended 5mm? spacers in the back (17x7.5" ___ 234/45/17)
would bring any issues to the car's performance (make it slower, fitment issues, rubbing etc.)

thx

Would slow 1/4 trap speeds 1mph for every mm added. 5mph slower in your example. Maybe .5sec slower in the ET too.

Make sure they're hub centric, or you are going to get wheel wobble

Oh, and it doesn't slow N/A, just turbo cars.
