I finally cured the horrible tire noise from the circa 2004 tires and am very happy with the conti extremecontact dw's. I also decided to put 5mm spacers on the rears.

Is that fine or is the lack of front spacers and issue? I have a 90 C4

It's fine. The ratio is based on tire size and width. Spacing out your current set up (as long as it's the correct size) will have no I'll effects :thumbs up:

Five is fine...spacing farther than 7mm on the stock studs is not good. People say up to 10mm on the stock studs, but I think they are crazy. If you go to 7mm switch to steel lug nuts since you have fewer threads. I wouldn't trust the alluminum nuts past 5mm of spacing. That said, I have a friend that has been driving on 7mm spacers in the rear with the alluminum nuts for years, and his wheels haven't fallen off yet....yet...

Thanks! For reference I put on 225/45/17s front and 255/40/17s rear (5mm spacers rear)

Is your avatar showing after spacers? Looks good.

avatar is not a 964.

Would 5mm spacers be fine for the front with no stud concerns as well?

Yep, will be fine. I run 5mm all around on my 964.
