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.
That car is hot!!

See Post #27...YES.

Is your our whole car wrapped? What area would you recommend to get film on just for the sake of the spacers. Where do you see the rocks hitting the most?

No, just my hood, front fenders, A pillar, mirrors, and sides about 18" up. My installer removed the factory protection just forward of the rear wheels and replaced it, which has film higher up there and some behind the rear wheels as well. I only have 7mm spacers though and zero chips/marks in the film, or elsewhere.

I thinking that I’ll be doing 8mm up front at most. Not too aggressive and that should help. Might need to look at behind the rear wheels though. Thanks for the responses!

Got the tires wet with 8/12 last night-no noticeable extra spray or steering Issues. May go 10mm up front. The ECS spacer test kit Is definitely worth it.

I tried them and really wanted to like them Bob, but I couldn't shake the nostalgia of the neighbors silver 930 i drooled over as a kid.

I had a 1987 Guards Red 930 Sunroof Coupe, which was my first P-car so I know what you mean; however, the orange side markers were taken off my car even before I took delivery of my current Targa GTS!

With your color, the clear are a no brainer imo!
