anyone try this? can you share an image. Did a search but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!!!!

 

If you are using standard OEM offset wheels 15mm spacers will not fit and that is why you haven't been able to find pics. I think the max that people use with OEM offsets is 5 or 7mm, which is the max without installing longer studs IIRC.

 

Mine, a turbo mind, with 15mm adaptors rear 7mm shims fronts



I wouldnt even consider 15mm on the fronts!, far too much

 

I threw a rear wheel on the front once, with Cup II offets that's basically like putting a 25mm spacer on front (yes, the tire hit the spring, was just a static trial for S&G's ). Believe it or don't it didn't stick out of the wheel opening, but didn't quite look right either. Ignoring the wheel stud length issue, 15mm would look good in my opinion, but we'd need to know what wheels you have first since offsets vary.

 

Thanks for your insights David
911Pervy, car looks great! That's exactly what I'm going for.

Hi TravisB, It would be for the oem wheels on a targa:

Front:
Size: 17x7
Offset: ET55

Rear
Size: 17X9
Offset: ET55

Thanks again!

 

You should be able to fit 7mm spacers front and 15mm spacers rear, but to be sure, I would measure your current fender gap. How far from the inner lip of your fender is the edge of the tire?

 

I have 7mm spacers up front ...subtle visual diff, but it helps fill the wheel wells a bit better, and definitely looks better with your car lower than standard US ride height.

BTW, does anyone here have either 7mm spacers or 15mm adaptors for the rear FS? PM me ...TIA!

I have 20mm spacers up front and 7mm in the rear on Bilstein HD M033 (M030? not sure which without checking records but its the softer option). The Cup II's align with the fenders nicely. Axel studs at the front had to be swapped for longer ones though. Apparently not an easy job.

 

No need to change any studs, just fit 7mm shims on the front and 15mm adaptors on the rear, should take 20 minutes to do the whole car

 

I run 7's in the front and have no issues.

 

Thanks for the input everyone! Off to go spacer shopping!!
Thanks again!

 

i ordered today 15mm spacers to the front and the rear.
i ordered eibach springs too (4cm lower)..


the car is 95 993 C2.

 

Works well?

 

Guys

Any rubbing issues on using 15 mm spacers front and rear?

I'm thinking of doing the same to my 993 C4S (on twisties) and am on stock height (not lowered).

Thanks.

 

15mm on the rear will work with stock WB twists. I haven't tried 15 on the front but doubt it will look right.
