Wheel adapters
i tried to search but couldn’t find much. I put wheel adapters on the front 20mm and liked how the car looked. Today I installed 25mm on the rear and it rained today. Well when driving I almost lost control of the car in a turn going about sixty which was regular speed. Wondering if anyone else has had any issues like this and what could it be? I think my tires are bad but it was scary as hell

Well to put it simply, changing the track width of your car alters how your car handles. Wider track width reduces load transfer under cornering and distributes weight more evenly and increases cornering grip. So if the front was wider than the rear it would tend to promote grip in the front and produce oversteer and vice versa. For me personally contrary to what I just said, I found that my car has now started to tend to oversteer at the limit when I added 20mm spacers to the rear. It's possible it's because my front tires are newer than my rears.
