If the rims are the same offset why are you using spacers? Looks? or Function?

Team,

A couple of questions.

Does it change the geometry of the set up?
Make the car drive any differently?
Does it cause extra wear on the tires (i would imagine that with the spacer it exaggerates the camber)
Cause any dramas with sensors?
Does it make the car tram line?

Not putting spacers on the front does it make (the front) look a little narrow? Especially because the rear is now SO wide?

Cheers,

I am no expert but I'm going from 19's with a 30mm spacer to the new wheels so I can't really note any real difference in handling other than the 20's grip beautifully... I also have non runflats for the forst time so there are a lot of changes to absorb at once ... The tyre dealer also took some camber out of the rear as I just do city driving meaning wear should be less inner wear on the rears. As far as look the car looks like it has a very agressive stance.. I would say 20mm is optimal but I wanted bolt ons. As an aside these 227's are frickin hard to clean !!!! But the look is worth it !!
