Lowering a car causes the rims/tires to camber or tilt in up top which makes the rims/tires look more tucked in on a lowered car than a non-lowered car. I am running 12mm spacers in the rear on my lowered 992 and I can pretty easily run 15mm spacers and rims/tires would still look pretty flush. My stock rear rims are 21x11.5 +67 offset. Adding 12mm spacers puts me at 21x11.5 +55 offset (67 - 12) or 2mm pushed out further than socalsharky's Forgelines. If he lowered his car, I'd add 5mm spacers all around to have the same flush appearance as unlowered.
Any shots from the side? What setup did you go with to lower the car?

That makes sense. What size tires are you running?
Got my R101LW in Satin Brushed Dark Clear out on yesterday. Had some time to give the car a bath this morning. The wheels arrived a little more matte than I was expecting but after putting the coating on them they shined up to the perfect level.
It is unreal how drastically going to such a light weight wheel changes the steering, handling, and acceleration of the car. I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be that noticeable. The RS Spyder wheels were heavy when I unloaded them.
Thanks David @ Wheels Boutique for the hookup on these and for being very attentive and responsive. I know I was probably the biggest pain in your *** haha.

One of their best no nonsense colors is the Dark Clear. Too bad that they charge a grand for polishing this look. The polished look on this is unreal!
I got Litespeeds recently and experienced an unexpected agility in suspension and steering. The road bumps in tightened suspension mode feels like comfort and the acceleration is quite noticeably improved.

This has been my experience. I can ride in Sport Plus mode and the stiffness isn’t as noticeable. It feels more compliant.
