I've done a little bit of reading on wheel spacer sizes and I see different recommendations for different setups, between 7mm and 15mm and it seems like people have different tolerances for what is poking and what is flush. I've also seen a larger front spacer recommended vs the rear which is unusual compared to other cars I've owned.

The car is a 2023 Carrera T. I'll be running maxed out front camber and maybe .5 degrees less in the rear. Can someone with experience give me some recommendations on what to run?

 

I’ve run +15mm spacers at all 4 corners on my lowered Carrera S with Carrera classic rims and it does not rub at all under any circumstance - even with 4 people loaded into the car and going over bumps in a turn. With your more aggressive camber I’ll bet you can run +20mm spacers at all 4 corners, but I think +15 looks really good and flush.

 

How much camber did you have if it was lowered? Usually they have some camber gain.

Also didn't the offsets for the Carrera S wheels change at some point? I swore I read something about it but I can't find it anymore

edit..nvm. It was one of your posts. I found it. Thanks

Not really sure. I had the car aligned after lowering but forget what the camber was set to. It does not look very aggressive - probably close to stock camber.

Also, WRT cars running thicker spacers in front than rear, people with F8x BMW M3s also recommended front spacers about +3mm more than rear but I always ran same size spacers F and R on both my M3 and my 992S and thought that was the best fitment. On my 992, I ran +12mm spacers R and +15 F for a few thousand miles but switched to +15 all around and liked it much better. It just looked more balanced F and R.

 

Yeah. I think the 2020 Carrera Classic front rims were 20x8.5 +53 but my 2021 model had 20x8.5 +50 rims. This may be why it didn't need thicker spacers in F than in the R.

Also my pictures in that post are when it had stock SPASM. After it was lowered, it looks more flush and I felt the rears needed more than +12mm spacers after lowering.

If you are not going to lower your car, I would go with +10mm all around.

Also, FWIW, if you plan on running wider tires - like bumping up to 255-35-20 F and 315-30-21 R, you will not have any rubbing issues with either the +7 or +10mm spacers at all 4 corners. I'm running these wider tires on aftermarket rims and even more aggressive offsets and have zero issues.

 

Ahhh OK. That makes it easy cause I can just buy the flat6 kit.

 

15mm all the way around lowered on KW HAS and stock 19/20in wheels. it was a fun look for the weekend.

 

I would absolutely tolerate the amount of poke on my track car as long as there was no rubbing. This car runs 3.5 degrees of camber which I don't ever expect to run on the 911

 

@VarTheVar I have a T as well as you know. I had wheels made with custom offsets that protrude 15mm front and 10mm rear. My car is lowered aprox. 20mm with Techart HAS and therefore there is more camber but I haven't done an alignment yet. I believe these cars max out in the front at about -1.8. Click on the image to zoom in. I feel my setup is on the conservative side of aggressive.

 

It looks great. It's hard to judge where it would land with stock ride height. Do you think it would look silly if the car wasn't lowered?

 

For sure it'll look better with the car lowered, even by just 10mm. However, because the offsets are relatively conservative, I don't think it'll look bad if you keep the stock ride height.

 

18mm up front, 14mm in the rear.

 

Perfection.

 

I have 8mm rear with stock ride height. Spasm. It helps the look.

Have not done fronts yet.

Seriously.

Can you guys get jacks under there no problem?
