Erkka,
are you having problems with ABS with the 245 and 275 combination?
I want my cup 2 8 *17 on my 928 s 2 front.
Can I use standard lugs with the 6mm spacers?
Thanks in advance

No problems at all with ABS as tires are 245/45 and 275/40. Aspect ratios are same as stock. Both front and rear are around 3% larger diameter than GTS sizes so ABS doesn't see any speed difference between them. Speedo is also dead accurate compared to GPS.
6mm is thickest I'm comfortable using without changing longer studs. Thats only with factory wheels which have thin mounting area compared to most aftermarket sets like Mille Miglia Cup I and II replicas. In ideal situation spacers would be few mm thicker. Depending on tire model they might rub very slightly to body at inside behind suspension on full lock. At rear I have 41mm bolt on spacers and tire outer edge is few mm from fender. Though this works only with GTS fenders.
