I am looking for advise on the size and types of wheel spacers that people feel comfortable to use.

I have alot of space to fill on my race car and I was wondering if I should keep the same track width on the front and rear for autocross and or for racing???

It seems that the same track width would have certain advantages, yet the differing widths would help in other ways.....

Also, what are your spacers made out of?
Are they solid or individual washer type spacers?
Do you get them balanced?

And last of all, where can I get 4 lug spacers up to 2" thick without having to go custom???
