If you increase the stagger between front/rear too much, then yes, it will. But the most common setup is something like a 15 front / 20 rear in which the only real benefit is a little more grip with the wider track. Also by pushing the wheels out a bit you dial in a tad bit more negative camber. A very small about, but it's there nonetheless.

Is 15/20 stock? That might make this set up more neutral then?

Although I found the stock set up pretty neutral as is.

Stock track width for the Sport package cars is 60.6" front and 61.6" rear. Our cars are pretty neutral stock as we are running a pretty soft rear bar.

If you keep adding more rear width it will induce understeer, but with 15mm not yet. Actually it tames the car for straightline. We have lots of straight roads where I live so this is good.

I have a Nismo and will be riding stock height on stock rims. I am looking to go H&R with 15 in the fronts. For the rear should I go 15 or 20? Thanks in advance.

For the Nismo you want to go 15mm max F&R or the wheels/tires will stick out past the fender and that will throw up rocks and crap along the sides of your car and it will look like crap.
