    Hey guys , is it true if I install spacers on the front wheels I have to do the same for the back wheels as well. If not I risk damaging my transmission?

    No. Spacing out the wheels does not change the rolling diameter of the wheels. That's were you'll run into trouble. For example of you run a staggered set of wheels and the differences between the rolling diameter of the front and rear wheels is greater than 3% you could put additional stresses on the differentials.

    That's what I know, never heard about anything about spacers......hence my reason for asking the audizine community. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
