Default 20mm spacers

I'm thinking of getting some H&R Bolt on Hubcentric spacers, just to bring the wheels flush with the arches.

Can anyone tell me... how will this affect the steering?

It is the only modification I am planning to do (even though I have a Tein EDFC Active Pro in a box that was supposed to go on my modified 200SX)....

Famous last words

When I added 20mm spacers all around to my OEM 19" sport wheels w/ OEM tires (245/275), I didn't notice any discernible difference.

I recently installed 20mm spacers on all 4 wheels also. My car handles completely different. I'm wondering if the KW V3's and Hotchkis sway bars that I installed at the same time had anything to do with it?

I'm dropping down in tire size (next set) to 255/285 and putting my 20mm spacers back on. Should push the wheels close to flush w/ the fenders.
