Dear Forum,
this is my first post here (apart from the one in the Boss 302 registry thread).
I have tried the search but found nothing on my question so I will be brief in case this has been answered before.
My problem is this: Depending on weather conditions and availability of transportation for my wheels, I either track my 2012 Boss 302 with Good Year Eagle street tires on the original Boss wheels or with a square setup of 265/35 R18 semi slicks (which I get for free in this dimension only, hence only 265 mm width).
While on the 265/35 R18 semis, the balance between under- and oversteer is just right for me. It is suprisingly agile but not prone to sudden oversteer.
But when on the original 19" wheels, I got massive understeer.
Since I do not want to re-adjust stabilizer bars or camber or whatever anytime I switch between tires, I thought that it should be possible to adjust understeer and oversteer balance by adding wheel spacers to the front wheels.
The question is: How many mm would be necessary to make a difference? Is it between say 5 mm and 15 mm per side or would more, like 30 mm per side, be necessary?
I would like to know that before I start changing to longer wheel studs and buying hundreds of wheel spacers.
Changing to a square set up on the original wheels as well is not an easy option since I would have to got though loads of paperwork to make another than the original tire dimensions road legal here in Germany.
Thank you very much for your input!
