Any advantages if I use wider tires (wider wheel as well) at rear? and any differences I just use the spacers instead of using wider wheels?
Enjoy yr cars.:thumbup:

Less Oversteer :) Which i'm sure you wont have to much of that anyway coming from a FWD car.

Just to clarify... all things equal, adding wider wheels / tires on the rear of the car will make it handle WORSE. Absolutely no handling benefit whatsoever.

wider wheels will create a higher coefficient of drag. ie slower.. but it sure as hell looks way better

Also has higher contact patch so for drag racing it can be advantage if your looking for ways to get the power to the ground.

Edit, just noticed you said rear wheels. Yeah what I said is only for front wheels. Just looks for the rears.
