Hi everyone, what size spacers do you recommend on the 19's for front and back? Where do you get them and how much should the whole thing cost including the removal of wheels?

Suncoast have the 5mm F/R OEs in stock for arround $300. I wouldn't go further than that.
IMO they are a must in a Sport PASM equipped car just for the looks. They fill the gaps real nice. I ordered my Base 991 with spacers from factory but took them off because the car looked weird with the non PASM height.
As soon as I lower my car with Eibach springs I will put them on again.

Interesting.

5mm look pretty good with normal PASM...

Are those 19s? If not that may explain the prior post.

those are 20" wheels. I have the same wheels and put 5mm spacers on...they look fine. no pasm.

+1. C2S w/20" wheels, PASM, 5mm spacers...

will 5mm spacers look good on 19's?

I'm in the midst of the endless configuration process prior to ordering my new C2S this fall. I'll be getting the 20" Carrera S wheels and, while I've considered the 5mm spacers, I just can't believe that 5mm on each side can possibly make much of a difference. Discernible, probably, but significant? Not to me, so far as I can tell.

That said, I'm certainly open to having my mind changed in favor of the spacers. Can anyone show before & after photos of the same car from the same angle(s) to demonstrate the actual visual gains realized by installing the little buggers?

Thanks!

It's one of those things where the car looks better with them though if you didn't know it had spacers you be hard pressed to pinpoint why. My 997 has the factory 5mm spacers and it just fills out the wheelwells that much better.

Ditto, I'd love to see the before and after pics of a spacer addition. I was considerig gettting these, but 5mm seems like a very small width to be able to tell any difference

Hotlap,
I don't think 5 mm spacers are going to add much unless you get it lowered some. Lower plus the spacers would give that "full wheel in well look". Besides, your car looks great - totally classy- just the way it is.

5mm? i wouldnt even bother buying them

i have 20mm hubcentric spacers.. w/ extended bolts.. they were like 250 for the set.. adaptec spacers.. they ride and work perfectly.

5mm is less than 1/4"... if you can notice that, then idk..

20mm the fronts still sink in on these giant fenders.

rijowysock

you can remove the wheels yourself... just get one of the "rods" that you screw into the hub to make lining everything up easier.


lowering car makes wheels "sink in" so you would need a wider spacer

kbalch

That's pretty much what I thought. I'll pass on them...

Can you show before/after photos with the 20mm spacers, just to illustrate the difference?
