What issue are you running into? I got mine from eBay and they shipped promptly and they arrived without issue.

I'm sure the manufacturers of spacers know better than 50-years of Porsche engineering.
They will have considered offsets to the castor centre line, the effects of moving the resultant camber thrust, the deviation of Ackermann geometry and the resultant induced centre of rotation during steering, the suspension compression vectors, and the reduced predictability of toe and steering rack linkage forces during braking and acceleration.
Or maybe not...

Yes, we know all this... but we spacers folk like to live life on the edge b/c it looks cool. BTW, I also installed an aftermarket rear lip on my car. I'm sure the aerodynamics are completely trashed and, combined with my 15mm spacers, has made the car a dangerously unstable death trap that will kill me on the fwy when i hit over 100 mph... or maybe not...

I've run 12mm and 15mm spacers in the rear of my 992 S and I have RWS and I had the spacers on before and afer lowering the car and there were zero issues. I would highly recommend going with +15mm spacers F and R if your car is lowered. If your car is not lowered, +10 mm spacers F and R would give you a flush look.

I am actually happy with the front offset, it is more the rear in question. I will most likely go 10mm or 12mm.
