Slightly wider stagger in front OK?

I’m trying to fit Enkei 18x9.5 +45 with 265/35-18 GT Radial SX2’s on my ‘13 BRZ. Rears fit fine with no spacer at 26” ride height. No rub on suspension or fenders.

The fronts barely rub the coils. Can I get away with a 3 or 5 mm spacer on the front but not running the same in the rear? I’d like to avoid pushing the rears any closer to the fenders if I don’t have to. The car is strictly track day, if it matters.

Thanks!

Yes, the track width is different from the factory front and rear anyway. I mean, you have already upsized your tires waaay more than 3mm to 5mm width. So, the spacer won't make any difference.
