Thumbs up

I don't think so, and I base my answer on a little drawing I did on graph paper. The thing that determines the turning radius is the maximum angle of the front wheels. Since putting spacers on won't change that angle (assuming the wheels don't rub the well, etc.), then everything should be as before.

sleepybobcat, you and I are thinking on the same level here with the RX. I have worried over wheel spacers b/c I wanted wider wheels, but did't want to mess with spacers. Tell me what you plan to do.
