Anybody went wide in the rear tires? Leave front spacers on yay or nay after?

30/305 draggies in the rear just thinking whether to leave front spacers on the stock tires? Any experiences or issues anybody experiencing going this route? Thx

It is not really about the spacers, it is about significantly increasing the rear tire width while keeping the front ones stock.

So daily driving could create an issue with and w/o spacers. Thanks for the advice

More like if you make the rear tires wider you should make the front tires wider as well. Assuming you want the car to handle similar to how it came from the factory, but with more grip overall.

Making the rears wider and not the fronts may make putting power down easier, but will lead to the front "pushing wide" before your rear looses grip when cornering at the limit. aka understeer.

Drove with spacers and without for a short duration of time and felt more understeer with the spacers then without.

And i take that back...no real difference actually.maybe a tiny bit Now gotta research which size to go in front
