As mentioned, quite a number of suppliers. I got mine from FDM.

I also purchased my spacers from FDM. Not sure where they source them from but nice quality and fit.

Porsche Bud your car looks great too. Per your request, a couple more pics (sorry for the brief high-jack).

I'm having a similar internal debate right now for my C4S as I prepare to switch back to stock TT's. Based on the pics, I'm thinking 5 or even 7mm up front, and 7 or 10mm in back.

My current setup sits pretty flush and running 225's up front with 295 rears, and no rubbing that I've been able to notice so far. Will be going to 225f and 285r (stock sizes) with my TT's.

So sweet Rudy! It only took me 2 years to get a set of spacers since this thread!! There are 3 sets coming to Toronto: one for me, one for nr1416 and one for trickydisco! Now I gotta get around to refinishing my Turbo Twists! The slope is so slippery and (it seems) never ending!

I wonder what the Techarts will look like pushed out a bit further!

Sorry can't remember how wide the spacers are, but they are made by H&R and wide enough to be supplied with longer studs. The car is lower than stock.

Thanks for posting Rudy! I was looking at some pics of your guards red Turbo wondering if you had done anything with your wheel fitment. Question answered!! Looks great.

Jakob , I think with the Techarts you will have rubbing issues , IIR when I had those wheels on my c2s there wasn't too much room and that's why I never installed spacers when I had them .

Thanks

Cool!! You saved me the trouble! The fitment on them is pretty much perfection as they are. We ended up buying the same spacer kits you get, should be here early April.

I read somewhere that 7mm is the max you can go without needing longer studs!

I noticed some of the kits come with new studs, so I was thinking that is in the cards anyway. Or maybe I'll just stay under 7mm to keep things simple and reuse my existing hw.

Jakob - what spacers are you going with? Adaptec? I've always used hub-centric H&R's on my VW's and have been happy, but don't see the specific sizes I'm looking for.

Anyone still using their original 16" Cup wheels? Love to see picture of a 993 NB w/ its 16" OEM rims?

I ended up going with some no-name brand that was recommended by a fellow RLer. They are hub-centric and cost a fraction of what the H&Rs cost. They're in the mail, so I'll let you know how they pan out.
