It does stick out more. A wider front track reduces turning radius (cuz you're making a rectangle follow a circle) and helps with stability at high speed turns, such as with on/off ramps. I thought the rear was 1" narrower. That's why I usually suggest 2" spacers in the rear and 1.5" in the front. It wouldn't hurt to measure yours before you order them, though.


How about your alignment after the spacers??

There's nothing you can adjust in the alignment for wheel spacers. They will change the feel of it when turning while sitting still due to the increased scrub radius. At ~1.5", it's really nothing and how often are you gonna be sitting still, turning the wheel? Maybe one time after you've backed out of a parking spot to drive away.

Thanks for the info!
