Does it really throw off the handling that bad to use spacers? I mean, I'm in the process of buying a T2, and I want to know if using a good set of aftermarket wheels with the right offset would be just as good or better then using FD wheels with spacers?

To those with 3rd gen rims...Are you running 3/4" spacers on all four wheels? What size tires (F/R) are you running? I'm thinking about 225/245 on 3rd gen rims and am wondering if I'm going to run into body rubbing issues or suspension clearance issues.

Thanks
Mike

H&R spacer part number?

I was on H&R's website, they have no RX-7 applications listed. If anyone knows the part number for the 25mm, hubcentric spacers, please post it.
