Default Wheel spacers for GTS

Looking for wheel spacers for my 18 GTS with Turbo S wheels. Searched the forum and came up short on any GTS spacers. Anyone know what size could be used?

No wonder I couldn’t find anything. Haven’t received the car yet and honestly don’t remember if I felt the car needs them but from past experiences I think they’ll make a difference. I’ll wait to receive it and worst case I can upgrade the wheels with some that have a more aggressive offset.

Would you happen too know the optimal size? I know it’s a personal preference but at least it’ll give me an idea.

Can't use spacers with center locks. GTS w/Carrera S wheels can use spacers, not GTS w/CLs.

One option for CL is Elephant Racing adjustable lower control arms -- at least for the front.

That said, you may not need spacers, depending upon how aggressive you like your setup. I added spacers to several of my cars prior to the Porsche; with this one it's close enough to perfect from the factory.

Looking forward to seeing how your car looks w/the 7mm spacers. Does going w/7mm spacers require new lug bolts as well?

They should look nice with the new Yellow PCCB calipers as well and yes, the spacers come with Black bolts as I have Black wheels.

Bob - just to get this straight because I'm thinking i need a tad more stance as well. You're removing the factory 5mm spaces that come standard with the 20" Carrera S wheels on a GTS and replacing them with 7mm spacers and new bolts is this correct?
Danke mein Herr.

Bitte schön. There were no factory spacers and new/lomger bolts came with the 7mm spacers.

There were NO spacers as standard equipment on GTS models. You could however order them from the factory as an option.
