Spacer thread
Anyone on here using spacers on their V? I was thinking about getting a set of 10mm. I have the stock rims now so those spacers should make it look a little nicer.

The veloster has a track width of about 1700mm
So 10mm spacers will increase the track width by about 1.17%
However, they will increase your scrub radius from negative to positive, resulting in more torque steer, dodgy split-mu braking, and some odd loads on the front suspension in general.
I'd save my money if I were you

^Garage line has been selling V spacers for more than a year now. They only had 20F/25R at first, but now have options as there was to much poke with those. The 15F/20R brings the stock wheels out flush with the fender.
