Default Wheel Spacers

I have a 991 Carrera 4 with 20 inch Classic II wheels. The wheels in the back are 305's and im looking to get the rear wheels flush with the fender. Anyone ever put on spacers and if so what size/mm should I go? Any pics would be great too. My options are 5mm (factory), 7mm and 15mm. Thanks

15mm will take you flush in the back. I'd put 7mm in the front.

Love the flush wheel look, but man...I get enough stone throw as it is.

7mm & 15mm w/extended bolts from Adaptec (made in USA). Notice the 7MM are hub centric w/flanges. Most 7MM I found were flat. About $250

If you get spacers make sure you get an alignment pin - makes the wheel easier to mount on the hub.

OEM 5mm Porsche spacers are another option...here's the details:

Do you have PASM or SPASM on your car?

I have PASM and a 15mm spacer was too much, it stuck out too far - definitely more than Tony's pic shows. Tony has SPASM.

I went down to 7mm in both front and rear. The rear could probably handle a 10mm with PASM. I just haven't had the time to find out.

Johsmo,
I have a set of 7mm & 15mm spacers and lug bolts that I used on my Classic Sport II wheels. I went with aftermarket wheels that didn't require them. PM if you're interested in buying them.

This is what's stopping me from even thinking about adding 5mm spacers to my already 1/2" wider Sport Techno's.
