Default NB with Technology Wheels = Spacers?

After finding out my NB was originally optioned with the 18" Technology Wheels I searched and was able to find the correct ones on another NB and got them. They are the 10J X 18 H2 65.0 993 362 140 01 ones and in the technical notes from Porsche is says to use a 25mm spacer in the rear? Is that only for WBs? TIA - Ryan

A narrow body does not take a spacer with 10" ET65 wheels.

Same exact setup on my car from new. No spacers front or rear.

I run 18x10 et50 so you COULD run a 10mm - 15mm spacer pretty easily if you wanted to... but probably not 25mm unless you were running a narrow tread tire that stretched in somewhat. $.02

As others have said, 25mm spacers won’t work with these wheels on your NB. Yes, you could run these 10” rears ET65 on the back of a WB with 25mm spacers for an effective offset of 40, which is spec for WB 18” turbo twist. If your WB originally comes with twists the rears would have 10”et40. Some C2S come with 17” Cup 2 which are 9” rears and factory 31mm spacers.
