Default 7mm 15mm spacers on a C2? need thoughts!!

i had a 991 c4s and installed wheel spacers, 7mm in the front 15mm in the rear.
when i got rid of the car, i kept the spacers.
i now have a 991.2 C2 and ive started to install the spacers on that car. from what i understand they "fit" fine. i concerned about the rears being too thick. ive installed one and the tire most def sticks out of the fender, but not a ton. all of the tread is inside the fender, but the sidewall is sticking out a touch.

i wanted the tires more flush but i certainly dont want it to appear "stanced".

anyone tried this?

Had the same issues on my 18 C4S. The rear was 15mm and was noticeably too "aggressive" Ultimately went with 7mm front and rear.

Too much offset, IMO. And in addition to questionable looks, you will get more splatter and sand blasting on your rear fender.

That is a .2s with techarts... 7mm rear and 15 front ..

I would recommend 7mm rear and 12mm front.. 15 has slight poke in front

I used similar spacers on prior models, but on the 991.2 the rears sit almost perfectly from the factory... in my opinion. I'd recommend nothing on a 991.2, but 15mm is certainly too much.

Running 10MM up front and 15MM out back... my car is lowered so it's not as bad.... but will go to 12MM when I get around to it.

I'd say the 15mm is a tad too aggressive on the new car.

Speedy, is that still on stock springs? And did you have to get new bolts for length?
