Looks really good, but I assuming that the offset of those wheels are different than the 20” carerra s wheels due to your spacer size. Would probably be too much for my wheels. Looks great on your car though!

My car came OEM with 5mm all around and I did play with a few options. ECS has a spacer sizing kit that I should have rented and used... would have been cheaper than buying spacer kits until I found the right ones. ECS also supplies extended hardware and their products are the best quality spacers I've seen, and are hub centric.

Car: 991.1 C2S
Wheels: Carrera S3
Suspension: Lowered
Tires: 245F/305R
Spacers ECS 8mm F/12mm R

IMO front could be more aggressive. Might order 15mm for rear and move 12mm to front.

I'm planning on doing 7/15's on my 991.1S as well with PSS4s 305s that I have on currently. Just debating on which spacer manufacturer to use and don't know if there's a difference.

Carerra III s wheels? I plan on using ECS spacers. Sold brand and hub centric. Might do 12mm or 10mm in the rear though. Great examples in the thread, but unless the rears are ET 71 offsets, it will not help much in determining.

I went with 8mm up front and 12mm in rear - look great, just enough. Be careful removing the spacer screws!

991.1 and 991.2 are a bit different so it will depend on what model you have. I've had better luck on previous 911's with aftermarket wheels. HRE's were the best I found.
I'm running OEM Carrera S 20" on my 991.2 with nothing in back an 5mm up front. It's still not quite right. I might try 7mm front and move the 5mm to the rears.

This is what I want: my old 997 with HRE's. They were perfect for me with no spacers.

Needless to say the bigger the spacer the more rocks will get tossed back so ensure you have PPF.

And that I don’t have. Not quite sure if I will as this is not my daily driver, but would probably be the smarter choice.

Perfect. Any pictures by chance?

Just curious if cars with spacers, especially with aggressive offset, get more road rash behind the wheels?
