Good stuff on the fronts...if they look new, that speaks volumes about their ability to handle the front weight of the vehicle and I think 255 wide fronts are perfectly suited to this car.

You are probably right about tires, width, and power I'm not finding too many problems with daily traction (non track) with roll-on power application. So far I'm actually a better driver with smoother inputs on the f80.

Anyway, how do you feel about the spacers? Any changes to driving demeanor? I do like the look but historically not a huge fan of spacers, but I take your experience with some hefty weight, so I ask.
we have spacers on our N24 race cars and the wheels have not fallen off yet....well not because of the spacers at least

wider track is always preferred. i think the heavier the car the more width it can use.

i use studs prefer them. check multiple times with torque wrench however.
