Default Spoon Calipers

id like to ask a question that may be silly. im installing the spoon calipers soon. i have ADVAN RG-2 wheels 17s 7.5 inch width on the front. i dont rmmber the offset but its the most common one for the s2k with the advan wheels.

i know that it will require a 10mm spacer to fit the calipers. that would make the wheel clear the caliper but also would make (as if) the offset is more aggressive and wheel position will be more (out to the fender) by the 10mm.

so my question is: will that affect the car balance and handling that only the front offset is changed? do you recommend that i also add 10mm spacers for my 8.5 inch rear wheels so the 10mm change in offset be in the 4 wheels and maintain the balance? ill track my car on the Bahrain F1 track next november for the second time, im being too carful not to upset the car balance, maybe im thinking too much!!

please help.

shouldn't change much in the balance.
your steering feel "may" be a bit different (harder)

oh and with 10mm spacers you may need longer wheelstuds
