Need some spacers for some alloys which i have bought.

Just want to know if I should buy 2, only for the fronts to clear the brembos or do i buy 4 to keep the front wheels aligned to the back?

thanks

It depends how far they will space the rears out, the rear is more likely to catch on the arches if you go too far but I would be tempted to try anyway just to keep the track the same front and rear.

think its always been ok to have the rears more than the front our both the same, but i would never have the front more spaced, dont ask me why but it just dont seem right.

Ever seen a Citroen DS ? The front track is substantially wider than the rear cool

Delta HF turbo II has a much wider front track than the rear. Its got the Coupe front end and a Tipo rear. Many FWD's will have a slightly wider front track.

I meant increase the track distances by the same amount so it doesn't alter anything with wheel alignment.
