Default Anyone have wheel spacers on a STR?

I'm looking for the widest wheel spaccer for the front and rear of an otherwise stock STR. The front needs at least an inch, but I think the rear could use some spacing also. Thanks.

Will that not affect the handling?

Umm... 1" wide spacer in the front? You talking for stock wheels/fitment?

This will impact scrub radius negatively(read: steering, handling) and cause more wear on wheel bearings. You would need to modify the hubs with longer wheel studs as well when going with a spacer that thick... Not sure if I've ever seen a wheel spacer that thick either... only wheel adaptors seem to get that crazy.

I used to have 1.25" spacers on my Mustang GT without any problem,they make my car better looking and more stable on the road and didn't need any modifications to install....

Here's the links for some 06 STR's

I appreciate your conccern but I'm only looking for opinions on size, please do not start a debate on whether they cause problems. I have used spacers on almost every car I've owned and am familiar with the pros and cons.

20mm for the front to get flush. That is what I had in the past.
