Hey guys.
As you may know I’m putting a BBK on my CRX. This kit required the rotors to be spaced out 3mm from the hub. Therefore I’m running a 3mm spacer(This is mandatory).
However I ran into a problem upon mock up. I need an additional 4mm of clearance between the wheel and the rotor(Caliper hits my wheel spokes).
My question is, can I run technically 7mm spacers upfront without running anything in the back?
Mind you this car will never see anything more than DD driving when it comes to twisties.

yeah you dont have to have the same width in the rear… it may look a little goofy but it shouldnt cause problems.
you should run longer studs though and make sure the wheel stays concentric to the hub.

this man knows hip hop. 7mm isn’t much at all. people run wayyyyy bigger spacers.
