Any suggestions for wheel spacers. My car is in dire need of some.

Kansas32

Me too. I have a C4S with RAS and have been watching Suncoast’s website for spacers and have not seen them offered for the 992 yet.

Really? My SPASM equipped 992 certainly doesn’t need them.

I am planning to try 8mm all around. I don't want to push out the wheels too much.

If you must ... Then buy H&R ones, I wouldn't even attempt to think or use anything else.

Compatible with 991 and 992 based on their listing. I wouldn't go more than 7mm wider.

detansinn

Agreed on the 7mm. Even with that, you may get some rubbing.

Getting my 992 C2 next week and have 7mm/15mm spacers from my 991
I had 15mm set up in the rear ,7mm in the front but why is it most setups on 992s are the reverse?

I installed 5 mm Porsche spacers front and rear on my C2S.

No vibration at 100 mph.

Do you know why it's the reverse set up on 992?

I hate to sound 'picky', but you know how some companies print their name/logo on the side of the spacer, so if you are standing above the wheel, you can read it ....
Does anyone offer spacers for a 992 that say 'PORSCHE' ???

Captain Average

Please elaborate on what is reversed.

THEBIZ67

On the 991, most people would have a 7mm Front / 15mm Rear set up.

On the 992, I'm seeing that it's the reverse, 15mm Front / 7mm Rear - Why is that?

BPC,

This is not a definitive answer, but here goes -

Front wheels are inset in the fenders a bit more than the rears.

This is normal because front wheels steer and therefore need more fender clearance than rear wheels.

I do not recall if the front wheel fender gap was more pronounced on my 991 than my 992, but from the spacers you listed, it appears 992 drivers are trying to push the front wheels out as far as possible.

While good for styling, large spacers will significantly change the steering geometry (scrub radius and spindle length).

Suspensions in cars at this level are designed by very smart engineers.

For this reason, I minimized geometry changes by using 5 mm spacers front and rear; I have not noticed any negative consequences.

THEBIZ67

That definitely was not an average reply Captain, appreciate the details and knowledge behind the set up and science of the 992

Captain, does 5mm each give you enough room to get your fingers/hands behind the wheel to clean the caliper housings?
