More Wheel Size
#1

Considering a set of used BBS RS track wheels. 8J x 17 et 49 Front and 9J x 17 et 52 Rear.



This would appear to move the track of the front wheels farther out than stock. Any idea of effect on handling dynamics of car, to the good or bad with these wheels sizes.



Also wondering if the front track goes wider (and if this has a undesireable effect) if using appropriate spacers on the rear to bring the front and rear track back relative to each other (thought both would be modestly wider) would be a proper remediation.



Any assessment of the BBS RS wheel would be welcome as well.

i had it out there once for a few laps - pushed the car pretty hard otherwise though - didn't like the wheels, but the offset didn't cause me any problems, and if anything, helped - i have an even wider track now
