993 C2S with MY'02 Carrera BBS : spacers ?
Hi,
I have a question re spacers.
I currently have (standard?) 17'' cup wheels on my 993S.
These are 7Jx17 (front) and 9Jx17 (rear). There are 31mm spacers in the rear (as per Porsche specs). There should be 5mm spacers in the front but these seem to be missing.
I would now like to switch to 18'' wheels. Although I like to keep the car original I don't really like the Turbo twist rims. I'm more interested in the MY'02 Carrrera BBS rims. Cfr picture below from one of the posters in this thread.
The MY'02 Carrera rims are 8x18 ET50 (front) and 10x18 ET65 (rear).
The spacers in the rear should be 25mm (according to Porsche specs). In the front I think it's not needed to have spacers ?
I also wonder if I can 'get away' with keeping the 31mm spacers in the rear and using them on these 10x18 ET65 rims. The wheels will of course be more to the outside (compared to 25mm spacers) but this is probably OK? Has anyone done this already?
To make the front and back 'equal' can I use 5mm spacers in the front and keep the 31mm in the rear?
So, my question is: will the following work and look 'cool' :
993S (Silver)
MY'02 Carrera BBS 18''
8x18 ET50 (front) + 5mm spacers
10x18 ET65 (rear) + 31mm spacers.
If not OK then I will of course revert to 0mm (no) spacers in the front and buy 25mm spacers for the rear.
Thanks!
