Default wheel spacers up front but not in the back.?

i recently got a big brake kit, so i had to add wheel spaceres to make my wheels fit...

i only got two in the front cuz they're 140 bucks each pair.

so, how bad is it to run 15mm wheel spacers up front and none in the back? how does this affect my manuverability? how bad is it?

would it be ok if i ran a smaller spacer in the back to even it out a bit? 5mm? 10mm?

do you need such a large spacer?

With a 15mm spacer you're going to need longer wheel studs.

at $140/pair i'd have a local machine shop make you a set instead (cheaper)

Looking at his Sig, it seems like he is using H&R spacers, which already come with the studs.
You shouldn't have any problem in terms of drivability except for some major tire rubbing under cornering....i would predict. Unless you got some mad fender flares....
