Hmmm. I can't see how properly installed spacers would do it. They don't change anything other than track width.

I'm suspecting it's mostly effects of geometry changes during track days. I'm wondering if there may also be an element related to the tire width on the front. I'm running 265 on the stock sport wheels. I could see how squeezing some tires on smaller than ideal rims could lead to altered tire shape and wear patterns. I didn't think 265 was out of spec though.
