Default anyone tried running 15mm spacers on back?

I had them on my 997S and they looked great with no adverse impact on functionality

put 20mm all around on my 991, loved it.

have a set of 18mm's hubcentric with the additional holes drilled to fix to hub like oem spacers if you are interested.

here is 991 on 20mm all around hubcentric.

Holy cow, that looks bad ***. If you do very hard turns in the mountains on tight turns, you wheels dont rub the car?

Widening the track all the way around would seem to be necessary to maintain the sensor parameters on suspension control/differential maps that the 991 uses on PASM and S models. If that is not an issue (eg you don't have them, or don't care about Porsche's notion of ideal characteristics), no problem. Asethetics are perfect for personnel judgement, so if you like that do it! But they look to me to be road rash candidates.

never curbed a wheel, handled great as well.. the wheels are far too sunk in stock.

Any chance you have a pic of the rear with one or more angles?
