Hey Portside,
My car has 7mm spacers all around, standard lugs, 100% street with no issues.
You need to your ride height corrected first!

It wont alter any suspension geometry, just change the offset off the wheels slightly.
It not like he's putting 40mm bolt on version on...... Oh wait that was the Factory on early 930's.... .

That’s my NB with 7mm spacers and hollow spoke wheels (8J/10J). I changed to 5mm longer studs to have more threads with Al lugnuts. Not a hard job with the right tools (didn‘t want to hammer them out)…;-)

Dug out those 5mm spacers…been on the shelf since I got the Tramonts built in late 2013. Unknown manufacturer, likely bought from a fellow Rennlister back in the day, since I don’t have any receipt for them.

New are $60 a pair…asking $75 for the set of 4 shipped.
