I am looking at the rear hub spacers Garm offers for 80$

Currently my setup consists of only tanabe df210 springs, cusco strut bar, on Rota Slipstreams 15" wrapped in I think 205/15/50 or 45 something to that degree. Anyways i was thinking about getting spacers for the rear along with later a rear sway bar. My back tires are tucked under the rear fender is it is. With autocross season approaching, the 2 12" subs and amp are coming out along with the rear seats so the ride height in the back will go up a bit. Will i have rubbing issues widening the back hubs with the spacers, and I read somewhere the spacers come with camber or toe shims, will that help keep the rear from rubbing if the width is widened?

Also if this isnt too good of an idea for improving handling, let me know.

Get the RSB if you want to autocross. The difference is phenomenal; 2nd only to camber bolts and a good alignment up front (gotta get some negative camber and remove toe-in). The spacers are cool, and easy to do, but minimal on performance. If you have any concerns about tire clearance, go witht he 10mm spacers.
