Wider track but i do not want to have issues I know sometimes spacers have influence on driving, whether it's vibrations or balance problems.

Sorry, but have you ever hear of scrub radius?

I pursued getting spacers with my tuner and they were emphatic that it would cause issues such as vibration and imbalance. I was really pushing the agenda and they were absolutely certain that it would not be good down the line.

^ I was sad about it, too. I would have loved to push out the rear track a bit more than the front.

i'm not really a huge fan of spacers unless you change your wheel out (smaller/etc). i've had some bad experiences (balance and vibration problems) with spacers on stock wheels...not sure about the 1M though, but I'm not in a rush to change things unless others have said it's a tried and true solution. i think most of the guys that have tracked with spacers also have been on different wheels setups. is this correct?

Justin (JJSchmooze) has 12mm all around. Lowered on KW Sleeve kit it slightly rubs the wheel well liner on the passenger side during full lock turns. I've been in his car at speed, and there is no vibration.
