Indeed I meant braking... I'm no engineer but think about it, you're taking the wheel/tire assembly and moving it away from the o.e. wms which it was designed to mount to. The further away you place rotating mass from the rotor, the more strain you are placing on the braking system and spacers.

Try it out and report back.

spacers don't do anything (much) to effect rotating mass, moment angle or any of that silly engineer stuff related to braking. There are lots of good reasons not to stack wheel spacers but braking effectiveness isn't one of them

i have some spacer photos floating around somewhere ...

BDR?
