Default using washers/spacers to gain a wider stance...

have any of you contemplating spacing out the wheels on your ITR with spacers or washers to gain a wider stance to aid with cornering?

I think spacers is the better way to go. It would give you a more even offset.

However, I'd like to know those of you who has used washers...how well did it work?

You would have to increase the track by more than an inch to notice any difference - which equates to >10mm spacers per side

I've thought about/asked about this before and everyone says "get a better suspension."

I think it might do some good, although you are changing where the axles wear so it might do more harm than good!??

I have been running 3-5mm spacers. It increases turn in response. Highly recommended but make sure that you are getting the good ones like H&R or Battleclub.

Too much is not good for handling. Same as too low offset.

Zero scrub radius is the best for handling....
