No, they are not used on race cars unless the wheel's offset is wrong for the suspension. Putting a spacer on a correct offset for fashion ruins everything the suspension designer did to make it work right. Scrub radius gets jacked up. Instant centers get jacked up. The car will not turn as well as stock no matter how you slice it. I've done enough suspension tuning to know arbitrarily moving basic elements like contact patch will change the car, sometimes dramatically. Witness the people who lowered their cars with the spacers between the ball joint and the knuckle in the front. Ruined the handling.

like all your mods man, you need one more thing your F will be perfect, Novel header.
Do you mind telling what offsets on the rear new wheels. B/c now i'm running 19x11 +52 with 295/30r19 Bridgestone potenza R050A and i get a little rubbing over dips and pumps. My Bridgestone rear tires looks like wider than Michelin on 11" wheels.

The rear wheels are +60 offset. So far I have had no rubbing issues yet.

No not me , i haven't had Novel header yet. My wife does not want me to spend that amount of money on only the header but i really like the equal length header so far only Novel has made it . I will find a way to full trigger on that header that my wife does not know.
Thanks for your answer !
