Default wheels Maxilite cup1

Does anyone know if you can run 15mm spacers on the Maxilite cup1 wheels 17X9 47mm offset on a narrow body 964? If not what is the widest spacer you can use at European ride height?

Thanks Porsche people!!

That would be an effective offset of +32mm.
I run the 17x9 +55mm wheel on the rear, with a 20mm spacer - so effective +35mm.
Yours would be poking out 3mm more than mine.
Which I don't think would work - I tried.
(depending on alignment and camber)
Make sure you have extended lug studs.

You will either need the spacers with studs that bolt onto your original studs, or you will need to change out your studs to extended studs which is kind of a pain.

I bought the 15mm H&R spacers with studs and thought I would like the wheels that came on the car but I still don't so I will stick to my original plan of getting Maxilite cup1s but was wondering if I could use the spacers I just bought. If not i guess i can sell the wheels and the spacers a recoup some of my money

the short direct answer is if you bought the normal spacers NO you cannot just add them- you have to get extended studs-

Yes they will, no problem. and they will look great! As long as you got the proper offset maxilite i think 47 52 something like that you are good to go, iv'e used those wheels on many 964 and some with spacers like yours

no you don't need to roll the fenders, nothing!!! The look of the car you see on my profile pic was 7mm spacers all around with maxilite and didn't used extended lugs (which is not recommended because i lost 1 or 2 turns in tightening lugs but i didn't care)

i already told you man, the pic of the ones on the car in the profile pic 7mm all around spacers, and same maxilite you have - but this is not recommended because you lose a turn on tighening the lug bolts if you don't use extended lugs
