Why degrade your car's handling and adding torque steer? Spacers will increase the scrub radius by pushing the wheels away from the steering's pivot point.

This has been disproven many times over. It's time to lay this myth to rest. Professional racing teams to all the way down to the everyday driver (me, for example) have not experienced degradation or increase in torque steer running aggressive offsets. However, nobody has reported on the use of spacers yet, so who knows, but the chest pounders who were adamant about the negative effects on running aggressive wheels and offsets were shown wrong just by the many threads that reported otherwise on their aftermarket wheel setups.

Jesus Christ, no need to be so aggressive. Spacers do increase the scrub radius, that’s not a fact in contention. The impact of that increase is debatable, true, but you can’t say unequivocally that it has no effect.
