Spaced

Can 25mm spacers be used w/ stock 17 in. wheels, OEM springs and shocks without excessive rear camber issues.

Yep......>>

As you drop the car you induce the camber change more dramatically. Spacing will change things very little. I ran that set-up for awhile with no problems..

Thanks, I was not sure if the increased leverage from the wider track would cause more spring sag and increased neg. camber.

Well within spec on a stock car....>>

When you lower though it gets a little more extreme. I was at -2.5 with spacers, 17's and a 1 inch drop. Kmacs got me back to -1.6 which I like. Spec I believe ranges from -1.3 to -2 or thereabouts. Since there is no camber adjustment on the car, the spec is rather broad...
You're probably in the -1.3 to -1.5 range before any changes..
