I did this to widen the front track mostly to get added grip and reduce front end push when on track. I love the enhanced grip on track. The look and stance are also much better. In my opinion the front wheels always seemed tucked in too much from the factory and now I have 30mm more width up front. No downside for me other than a little more debris being thrown up on the fenders but I have PPF.
very interesting setup!! Looks very sharp. Do you have OEM springs? Can you please upload more pictures?

Default 15mm front and 7mm rear spacers on 991.2 narrow body

Mine is a 991.2 T. If I was to do it it all again and be conservative I might just go with a 12mm front spacer only with longer OE style lug bolts. The rear wheels are already pretty flush with the body and the fronts are the ones tucked in too far IMO.

Gorgeous! Looks like the ideal drop for my convertible - I have recently ordered a B12 kit and can't wait to have it installed.

Thanks - also add a DSC V2 or V3 Controller (you can find used V2's reasonably priced) for the perfect ride quality. If you buy one make sure to zero out the ride height since lowered - results are spectacular IMO.

I have 10 mm in the front and 15 mm in the rear on my 991.1S. BTW I just replaced the P0 with the 4S and the front wheel hop when turning is now gone. Same tire sizes as before. I did notice that the rim protector on the P0 is more pronounced than the 4S. That could be the culprit.

Good Pictures, definitely 991 2nd generation uses inverse setup than first generation. I’m thinking to try on my CarreraT 12mm front and 5mm rear . I’ll upload pictures. What you think?

edit - Sorry just noticed it was for the Carrera S wheels.

I have a 991.1 with ECU spacers - 15mm in the rears and 10mm up front.

@rubioalejo I think with 12mm front and 5mm rear you will be amazed. 5mm all around is a factory or dealer option in Europe IIRC so no rubbing issues. I have no issues with 15 front 7 rear but it’s quite aggressive. Add pics please!

Here are a different wheel spacers option on Narrow Body 991.2, 12mm(ECS) Front + 8mm(ECS) Rear. I noticed that this setup feels better and looks sharper.
