The 240 I have observed. Why is the rear tires pushed in and the front and stick out? By athat I mean the Wheels. I was wonderin if i could get some wheel spacers for the rear wheels so that they are even with the body of the car. So that they are straight with the front wheels.

You can try small ones but be very careful.
The could come loose and you need to make sure there is enough threads left for the nut to hold good.

Here is the address to a website that sells wheel spacers. If you wanted to run other than a stock offset, they have the answer.

Take time designing your spacers. The best would still be custom-made. and make sure they measure it well.

I have seen the spacers on 240s and 740s and they would definitely do what you want them to do, and then some... (looks menacing!) :grin:
