different offsets on different sides of the car?
hey i've been playing around with different spacers on my car going for the best look without rubbing. Would it be bad on my car if one side has 10mm spacers and the other has 5mm spacers? I'm not talking about front and back i'm talking about left side with 10mm and right side with 5mm just to play around. any help would be appreciated. thanks!

anything more then 10mm you should be using monger wheel studs.
i dont see why having differnt spacers on either side would hurt anything for a short period of time

your car will want to turn one way easier....one side will also be more stable in corners do to the wider wheelbase from the center of the car.
why dont you put the larger spacers in the front or rear?

If it's just for a bit, it shouldn't do any damage. However, that is rather strange - and your car will probably feel off center. Just limp it and stay off the performance pedal

haha thanks for the feedback guys. Well I have two sets of 5mm spacers and 10mm spacers. So right now I have 10mm spacers in the back of the car and I have 5mm spacers in the front of the car. But I wasn't sure if I should just stick with 5mm all around or 10mm all around. I rub a little with the 10mm because I don't have my alignment setup for it yet.
