Heres the pics.

what parts are needed? I have the porsche spacers on mine but they dont push the wheel out that far and now need some thin 5mm spacers or so.
I'm looking for measurements in mm and part #'s hopefully I can just get 1 spacer instead of using more than one on each wheel.

You have to get studded spacers if you want to space it substantially unless you want to install longer studs (which wont be much cheaper and a ton more work).
Here's your best source. He'll work with you and custom build you a set of 4 spacers for your specific application. Very reputable guy from what I have heard.
BTW, I suggest you get the hubcentric spacers (which are 100 more than the listed ebay price).

Porsche used wheel spacers from the factory on a variety of cars - from 930s to 944s. Although it's better not to use spacers, there really isn't an alternative unless you want someone to custom fab you new hubs.

944J, the car is an 86 with late offset wheels and i dont know what size the wheels are. The spacers are 1.5 inch and are hubcentric.
I took it out on the highway at higher speeds and didnt notice anything abnormal.
Seems to drive good and looks alot better then before.

spacers tend to be heavier and are not usually allowed on the track since you cannot check the torque on them easily or they could possibly break. Of course some techs may not notice this and never give you problems easy. Its also your problem if something does happen anyways. I used spacers on my 914 w/ no problems but when i swapped to proper hubs and ditched the spacers you could tell alot of weight was eliminated from the front end.

I have some 21mm spacers but I think I want maybe 5-10mm more.
