Default How do spacers effect handling , balance etc

seems if your 1/2 in smaller in front than rear it might cause somekind of imbalance. no? Just asking cause I need 25 rears and don't know about combinding with front

Default the wider the base the lower your center of gravity. i've seen it drop on my car

when i spaced it out and then measured the CG on my scale system. one reason why f1 cars are soo good at cornering.
