Default Rear wheel spacers

I was thinking of buying some H&R wheel spacers for the rear wheels. I think the way the rear fenders come out makes the wheels look too in. What kind of handling woes will this bring me?

Pushing the rears out by up to 25mm (1") will likely induce a bit of understeer, but nothing dramatic.

The one thing to make certain about is the proper torque on the lugs holding the spacers, and take the wheels off in a month or so and check the torque on the spacers again. The mistake some people make is inadequately attaching the spacers and they loosen up over time or overly tightening the spacers and they warp the rotors.
