If referring to e9X M3s, there's not enough time to tell, but I doubt it would be drifting far from past models. Spacers are even a common mod of Ferraris that see track duty to increase track width.

Staying under 20mm is perfectly fine, I would simply avoid going further than that if at all possible.
thanks, tom. i see what you are saying, but there still is no absolute data. for instance, what evidence do you rely on to know that over 20mm is bad?
