    Is the track wider on the euro car or does it come with spacers from the factory?

    There are no spacers from factory; euro vs NA cars have different alignments

    I remember my NA spec 550’s tires were sunk into the fenders a bit. My new euro 550 seems way wider…. I’m gonna check for spacers. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    There are definitely spacers on this picture, even perhaps at the front too.

    My 550 was fitted with 30mm rear spacers when I bought it (used) and I quickly took them off to get rid of the signifficant understeer they induced. These cars do not need spacers IMO, as Ferrari engineers know how to design cars that handle well without any of these. If people do not like the retro look without spacers, then perhaps they have chosen the wrong car.

    What are the alignment differences? I believe only FHP cars differed between NA and ROW, but not standard cars.
