spacers up front only

ive got enkei rpf1 18x9.5 +45 all around. how might running 5mm spacers in the front only, and thus a slightly wider track up front, affect handling? the car is used for autox. and the reason for the spacers is i picked up brake calipers that dont fit behind these wheels. my options now are to return the kit (save money but no calipers), run some spacers in the front only (lower cost), or get new rotors and brackets (more money)

thanks!

That would put them at +50 offset. That's factory rim setting. Might wonder about turning clearance with the 9.5 width. How much room you got now on full turn?
