I would suggest a diet, or have her go up 1 pants size. But that's entirely up to you.

With nothing else changed; centering the rear in the car, will loosen the car up in all three parts of the corner. Only on the tacky track will this feel good.

Its the wrong way to go. Get another rear end. If you have to use it, mount it to the drivers side and in the heats mount up a 4 offset wheel on the LR. If the Rear cant be mounted to the left because of the driveshaft to tunnel clearance, center mount the rear and run a 2 offset wheel on the RF.

Good luck, been there, done that...

Yep, been there done that.

I had to run a 4 offset LR and ran a spacer on RF to match the RR.
I also still ran a spacer on the LF to make it as wide as the LR.

Pain but hey it worked and I won my first race in that car.. LOL

Good luck. Better off getting one the right size... :D
