Sorry to bug you guys again but I have yet another question about spacers. I installed my H&R coilovers on the 540 and the rims won't fit on( as expected). Now i believe I will need to run a 10mm spacer in the front to make the rims fit( any help/comments on the size of the spacer appreciated). Now here is my question, the rear rims will fit without a spacer but would it be wise to run the same size spacer in the back? If I run spacers only in the front won't it upset the tracking of the car( by having the front wheels wider or sticking further out than the fronts) and in turn make it handle diferently? All 4 of the rims are the same offset of ET20. Any help would be appreciated.
Also does the size of the spacer sound right at 10mm? My mechanic says it should fit but to make sure with H&R, but every dealer I call has a "let's try and see" attitude.
Thanks in advance

Yeah 10mm sounds right... What is the width of the front wheels though? 8.5?

You should be fine with the front running 10mm spacers...

Thanks Darrin, greatly appreciated
Anyone else have any opinions/thoughts about the rear spacer and how it affects the handling?????

I don't think increasing your front track 10mm on each side will have much effect on handling.
