Now I know that a 3mm spacer can't really be that big of a deal right? Well maybe not but after 50 plus thousand miles it can be trust me. Been there done that.
And to track a car with spacers is something that should be very thoughtfully considered before you actually do it. But again it really does make your car look cool. I bought my twin to drive, and track first most, looks always come second to setting up my car. Just my two cents.

That's my main concern with possibly running spacers. Autox starts later this month here and might be hitting up lime rock as well.

Think I just might run the 35mm to avoid spacers and longer studs +camber. Should compliment the RCE tarmac 2's nicely. My main concern is handling aspect. I will be running a wider tire compared to stock. Grip>Drift (for my purposes.)
