I run 20mm H&R spacers with their own studs. I use them as a balance tuning aid. Basically the wider the track the more lateral grip you will have. So for example, if you want to free up the car, add spacers to the front and/or remove spacers from the rear.

I am a little concerned about the safety issues of studs breaking and also the extra stress they put on the wheel bearings, so I will likely figure out something else. I have tried the car with and without the 20mm spacers, and the lap times are fairly close, but with spacers on the car has more lateral grip and is just slightly quicker.
