Wheel spacers? Yay or nay?

P.S. I’ve tracked plenty of cars with modest spacer additions (…although I spend most of the time tracking/racing bikes). I’ve never had any issues.

The Chalk with black wheels looks amazing,,,
I had spacers on my slightly dropped C4S 997 and loved the look. I just picked up my new toy and trying to decide. ITs still only a few days old for me and has an aggressive stance and look to. me. I notice these posts all look like "S" or higher models. I assume this works on a "base" model?

So when Porsche put/offered 5mm spacers on the GT3/GT3RS, do you think they did that because there was no performance benefit?!?! Anyway, I suppose I shouldn’t get into a debate about it. People will feel how they feel.

The reasoning I’m unsure about, but they’ve done that with GT cars for a very long time. Modest track increase…..sure, but spacers nonetheless. If Porsche puts them on 200 mph GT cars (…and race teams have used them in competition), there’s obviously merit to them.

I am running 10mm (F), 7mm (R) spacers. After lowering my C2S with KW HAS Kit + alignment & camber, I noticed the right side (front & rear) wheels looks more flush then the left which looks slightly tucked in the fender. Am told by two different workshops this is normal. Any of you noticed any difference in yours?

Assuming the install was done correctly, even a slight slope on the ground can make one side lower than the other, which can alter the appearance of the fitment.

Can anyone point me where I can get a set of 7mm spacers for the rear of the 992?
ECS said they cannot help, and Bonoss (sp?) on Ebay gave me the run around...

WTH. You are talking about less than 1/4”
If you know what you are looking for; you won’t notice. Even if you know; you would have to convince yourself that you can see the difference.
Not worth it.

There could be excessive negative camber on the left - which isn't desirable either, unless you're optimizing for left hand turns on an oval track (lol).
