    On my car, It's on VTR alloys, but i feel that the rear wheels sit too far inside the body of the car. I want to have them further apart filling up the arches better..

    If i was to get spacers, to make them fill out, would i have any problems?

    Alloys don't rub anyway.. Will they after?

    Also will the wider stance give any better control even at such a small change>

    if your lowered may rub on arches. mines down 40mm and if to heavy in rear tyres scrub the rear arches with 20mm spacers on 205alloys.
    and no to last question its 40mm really won;t handle any different

    drum rear beams are narrower than disc beams, so your vtr alloys will stick further in the arch over an actual vtr, but because you have a vt kit on your car it shouldn't rub, if you had a flat arch it probably would
