spacers
Rothsports in Sherwood, OR fabricates their own spacers and put 5mm on all 4 wheels of my C4S. They look terrific, the quality of machining and fabrication, and prices, are excellent.

I have recently installed PSS10 at RS+10 and running twists and PS2 tires. Seems most are installing 5mm or 7mm spacers in the rear. Curious if the look will be really that noticeable between 5mm/7mm? Hard to tell from the earlier photos. For the C4S should I run 5mm all round?

I'll have to take a look again, but I think my RH fronts are 18x8.5 and the rears are 18x11. The offsets are the important part here, but I don't recall them off the top of my head.
As an update, I have my TT's on now and the fronts are sitting very deep in the wheel wells. My car is pretty low, and I know from my VW experience that wheels often sit deeper when a car is lowered. But I think I need a thicker spacer up front than in the rear, which is not what most of the previous posts have said. I think I could easily do 10mm up front, and 7 or 10mm in the rear.

TT Hollow spoke
If anyone needs 18" TT hollow spoke in 8.5/11.0 (996 wide body offset), I have a set in black and a set in silver that I would sell for $1,200 each plus shipping.
PM if any interest.

Great pics guys.
I have a similar observation on my C4S on TTs as Snowbird, where my fronts are more recessed than my rears.
I'm on stock height and wanted to know if anyone has pics of 15 mm front and 15 mm rears which I'm considering. My C4S is my daily drive and will not be tracked. I have other 911s to satisfy my track itch.

Here's my lowered C4S with 15mm on the back. Nothing up front.

I ended up picking up pairs of 7mm and 10mm spacers from Adaptec during their Black Friday sale. Will be installing my new lugs and spacers this spring.
Both pairs have the 3-prong hub-centric mounting lips.

Did anyone ever try spacers of 7mm in front and 5mm in the rear?
On my car the fronts sits further into the wheelwell than the rears, so im thincking of going for 7, maybe even as much as 10mm in front and 5 in the rear. Hubcentric and with long enough bolts.
Wheels are the oem turbotwists.
