Default Wheel spacers?

Any of you guys have wheel spacers on your s2k? I have an 02' s2k with stock wheels and suspension and I was wondering if wheel spacers are going to help handling performance at all? Also, if anyone has a stock AP1 with wheel spacers; how does it look? Thanks guys!

Yes it does. It widens the overall track of the car. It does but probably not enough for you to notice.

i have 6.3 mm spacers on my car, stock ride height, stock AP2 wheels. they still fit with stock lug studs. but i dotn think going as high as 10mm would fit safely. I didnt notice any handling improvements, but it does make the wheels sit a little closer to flush.

I have 12mm on the rear and 7mm on the front and it feels like it handles better to me.
