Can you tell me what "RAS" means.

Rear axle steering. I have it on my GTS and love it; however, the car without it still handles very well but RAS really works well.

Ah yes, I can imagine the extra parts with that system. Thanks for the response.

After reading and learning a lot about offsets (still trying to wrap my brain on the visuals of offset) I don't think I want the extra wear and tear on the paint reported by other users. There is also the fact that my 991.2 NB with 20" Carrera Sport Wheels should never have been matched with the 5mm spacers and installed by the Porsche dealer. I am pretty sure I will be removing the spacers and giving them back for some sort of compensation.

Your car is fine w/ those wheels and the spacer - the warning was for Sport Technos and Sport Classic wheels.

On the Porsche website, one can still "build" a 2019 model. My 991.2 is equipped with 20" Carrera Sport wheels.

Also, when I google "Sport Classic" and "Sport Wheels" I seem to get the same result.

Aren't the Sport Classic and Carrera Sport the same wheel?

I appreciate your input.

Sport Classic = 11.5 x 20 ET56



Carrera Sport = 11.5 x 20 ET 76 for the NB or 11.5 x 20 ET 56 for WB

You will have no issues with 5mm spacers AT ALL on those wheels with the narrow body. No wear, no rubbing, etc. Your choice, just want to make everyone aware they will work with no issues for the Carerra Sport wheels.

I have same 991 C4, don't see many at all. You only have 5mm in the back? Doesn't seem possible as the stock overhang is huge. Looks good! Was thinking I'd be doing 15mm in the back min. I basically just want my tires flush with body, not sticking out. Suggestions?

I went with 8mm front / 12mm rear on my 50th anni... seems like it was the right choice.

I would say so! Nice setup and color. However is the 50th Anni the same width as C4? Was reading it's a touch wider like the C4S. Sorry, new owner here.

Thanks! C2/C2S have narrower bodies while C4/C4S/GTS/50th have wider bodies. Of course, double check your stock wheel offsets and compensate... and then there are slight differences in tire profiles.

.2 C4S with .1 narrowbody wheels (p/n 99136216104 and 99136216604)

I put ECS's 15mm spacers on the rear only. the fronts I think need 2 or 3mm to be at the stock widebody spec but I don't care enough to deal with that.
