wheel spacers

[golfbuddy]

I want to install some spacers on the front wheels and am wondering at what size spacer does it start to have a negative impact on steering and handling. Car is a 82 SC at euro height. Thanks

You are changing the scrub radius so the answer is "immediately."

The better question is how much of a negative impact are you willing to put up with. Which, of course, is totally subjective.

"Scrub radius" Never heard of the term before!!!

Add a spacer and test it out. Easy to undo.
It may look better and not make a noticeable difference.

Modern cars with closer to zero scrub have the positive offset wheels.
