spacer test! 5 vs 10mm on the front
John had a set of 5s laying around so I wanted to do a little test since I can't decide on 5f/15r or 10f/17.5r
first I put a 5mm on the driver's front then put the car back on the ground and rolled it around a bit to settle it. I couldn't tell much of a difference between the 5mm on that side and the untouched pass side. I didn't bother to take pics since it was kind of meh.
So then I jacked it back up, took the wheel off and put the second 5mm spacer on top of the first for 10mm total. Repeat settling car. Took pics.
Whatch'all think?

Thats 6mm shy of the wheel spacer/offset calcs recommendation of 16f/22r. Gonna repeat the test after it's lowered
