Anyone have a setup of 15mm spacers in front and 20 rear?

I've been doing research and it seem that its a pretty hotly debated subject we've stumbled into here. It appears that some of todays supercars are using a wider front track.

Lets put it this way though, making the front wider is the same as making the rear narrower. If making the front wider reduces understeer, then by definition decreasing rear track will also reduce understeer. If you are reducing understeer, you are increasing oversteer.

Basically, A narrower rear track will increase oversteer.

Someone posted the reasoning was that a wider front track will increase the amount of rolling load that the front track manages. More load going into the front tires means more grip up front, less in the rear.
