Hi all

I've seen some wheel options (Fuch lookalikes, happy to share who I've been dealing with if interested) for my 987.1 CS, they're 8.5" fronts and 10" rears....a touch wider than my standard Cayman S 18" wheels (8" and 9" wide respectively).

Are spacers required, front and / or rear? If so, size?

Cheers

Craig

911 sizes on most Fuch, I doubt you will find any to fit, and do not fit China reps they weigh loads and might not be upto the job.

 
Good advice, I'm only dealing with 2 German companies (Kerscher and Dynamic Speed) and 1 UK crowd (Group4Wheels). They seem to range from same as the current wheels (10-11kg) up to circa 12kg each. Genuine Fuchs sit under 9kgs (but budget won't stretch there)

 
Whoever you deal with for wheels/tyres ensure that they understand that you need different sizes front and rear. I once bought some winter tyres on-line and in their wisdom they decided I had made an error ordering two of one size and two of the other and sent me four that were all the same size!
