I also noticed on mine, it pushed the wheel further out, so The track width is more in line with a m3/m4.
I am now running 15mil spacers in the rear and 7 mil in the front.
Before I ran 12 mil in the front. That gives me a track width difference of .9 inches. 62.4 in the rear, 61.5 in the front. That is on oem wheels.

This is it quite confusing for me...
To sum-up, and complete BP post, for the F8X TS upgrade:
Let's talk in milimeters since car is designed in metric.
Material - Stainless Steel, Aluminium?
OD - 1.5": 38.1mm ?
ID - to suit M12: 1/2": 12.7mm ?
Length:
- Front/Outside:
- Pparana 4mm
- rwalker 1/4": 6.35mm
- Rear/Inside:
- Pparana 15mm
- rwalker 1/2": 12.7mm
Total Length (Front/Outside + Rear/Inside)
- Pparana 4mm + 15mm = 19mm
- rwalker 1/4": 6.35mm + 1/2": 12.7mm = 3/4" = 19.05mm
rwalker reduced 1/2" spacer by half a millimeter: 12.7-0.5 = 12.2mm
6.35+12.2 => 18.55mm length
But then Pparana, you talk about 15mm (rear/inside) + 7mm (front/outside), that lead to a length of 22mm, 3mm more than previous setup!
So what are the right values in mm to match F8x geometry, more correct wheel placement and less bushing wear, ?
Many thanks in advance!
