Front spacer and handling question

Hi, I just installed a RobiSpec package and am running 265/35s on 18x9.5 et22 wheels with neg2.5 F and neg1.0 rear camber. The rears are as offset as I can go without rolling the fender, but the front just don't look as aggressive as they should, probably due to all the camber for autocross. I'm thinking a 10 or 15mm spacer would help, but have some questions:

1) I get slight liner rub at full lock now. Will spacers help or hurt that situation?

2) Will running just front spacers have any impact on handling (reducing understeer, maybe?) Thanks.

here are some photos, but it's hard to see what I'm talking about in a pic.

Thanks for the link, gg. I'm thinking I might give a set of 10mm spacers a try. That would put the top of the wheel flush with the fender. 15mm's would stick out past the fender.

It does look like this will add to the liner rub issue though, so I may need to do some modification. It's my assumption that a wider front track with the same rear track would theoretically reduce understeer. I'm guessing this is probably negligible when talking about 10mm though?

Adjusting the camber will fix your sunken wheel issue. 18x9.5 +22 on 265/35 is plenty wide..
