Get stickier/wider tires if you have traction issues.

Don't forget, wider tires means wider wheels.

why would wheel spacers help with traction, they dont do anything but make ur wheels go a little further out away from hub.

for one, ur wheels are still not wider, so it wont help and second, u wont get a wheel spacer that will make ur wheels look any further out, its a few mm, and u wont notice, if u mean ur tires sticking out further than the carbody, ur gonna have to do some expensive modding to make that happen. and get wide wheels. if ud put a spacer on that would be thick enough to notice, u couldnt put ur lugnuts on cause there would be no bolt left to tighten the wheel on there
