Wheel spacers

Hello

I have a 996 gen 1 with 18" turbo wheels, have any of you put wheel spacers on the rear. I have always felt the wheels sit to far into the arches but don't want to add any if its not advisable for any reason.

Any recommendations would be gratefully received.

Cheers Phil
 
Hi Phil

15mm rear spacers on mine and they fill the arches fine, longer bolts are also reqd.

Thanks Andy I do have the m030 suspension.

where did you get yours from ? And are your fronts spaced as well or standard.

thanks Phil

 
They were already on the car.

I had thought about fitting 7mm on the front but never followed it through.

Have a good look online for recommendations, lots of sellers out there

good luck

Andy

 
Stupid question, (perhaps), but does the size of your wheel affect how big the spacer can be?

Many thanks

 
Thanks Andy that’s very helpful.

just realised I will need New wheel locking bolts as well as standard ones

 
When I took my turbo to Center Gravity Chris recommended 7mm spacers on the front to help reduce understeer. I actually put them front and rear in the end, but it does improve the looks a bit too.
