If you are refering to the front wheels, yes, while i was playing with the spacers i noticed that the tires are actually worn bald on the inner shoulder. i need to get a front allingment.

Is this picture better whit02?

did you notice rear end traction better? it seems like the space would give it just a little more rear end stability?

Are you talking about your sig? If you tried to upload a pic it didnt go through. LOL I feel like Im starting to bother you now.
I would think if he has the spacers on all four wheels, the overall traction and handing would be better. Im gonna go ahead and get some 5-7mm for all four wheels and see what it brings the wheels out to. If I dont like them, Ill just sell them to this kid around here that will buy anyhting you suggest. Hes got a GTO with a giant aluminum spoiler!!! Ill tell him they add 10 horses to the wheels..

I have 1/4 inch spacers i think in rear, pretty skinny. The lug nuts arent really an issue I have enough thread.

Lucian it doesnt make a bit of difference. 20mm would though.

I'm sure it improves stability but not enough to feel a whole lot of difference. but I feel better having them on. i wish i coulda used the 1/4 inch spacers. maybe arp extended studs?

how many turns did you get out of the lug nut enzo?

You might have to do alittle more math than i did, I can see that just your wheels are already 1.5 " wider.
