Default Preferred Wheel Spacers

There are a bunch of posts talking about what size wheel spacers to use, e.g., 7mm, 10mm, 15mm, etc., but I didn't see any about preferred brand/manufacturer. A Google search shows numerous offerings by different retailers but I didn't see any brand names. I'm looking to put 7mm spacers on a 991.2 4S. I typically get parts from Suncoast but they don't spacers for my car. I suspect spacers from a 987 or 991.2 C2S may fit but I haven't taken the time to call Suncoast to verify. Please let me know what spacers you've had luck with and where they were purchased. TIA

Perhaps not the dimensions you’re looking for but I went with Porsche OEM 5mm spacers with complete set of extended lug bolts (including security lug bolts) from Suncoast.

I used the ECS ones on my 991.2 to get NB wheels out where they should be in the rear. No problems there.

Just make sure they come with extended ball-seat lug bolts!

I went with Rennline spacers and went a bit more aggressive than others, 15mm front and 7mm rear with a bump steer kit. Love the stance now.

would love to see a pic. I’ve been wanting to go from 15mm to 17mm in the front and from 5mm to 7mm in the rears. Also how’s the bump steer kit? And which brand?

Most likely in the future I’ll order wheels with custom offsets.

I have the Rennline bump steer kit from Pelican Parts. https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_In...=c&SVSVSI=6797

Here are some pics of the current set up. Pardon the dust, haven’t gotten around to the garage remodel.

I wouldn’t go any larger since I’m staying with my current wheels, at least for a while.

Thanks for posting pics. That’s a good job on spacers. The front looks like it’s poking out just a tiny bit but that might be just the picture. The rear is perfect.
