closed spacers meaning once the wheels is tightened you can't see the additional studs or nuts when looking through the wheel.

Loose those other spacers, figure out which ones you need & call JR, (775) 351-1000, He's Makes the best spacers for ALL vehicles at a Great Prices, He's also has RUF style small ones 5 & 7mm (you don't need) that I helped him design, He'll get you what you need.

Thanks, Ironically enough spoke to Lenny today and they aren't too far away from me either. Once I finish installing the brake calipers after rebuild I will set the car down off the lift on the wheels and no what to order for sure. Anyone want an extra set of 35mm spacers? I will only use them to find what I need.

Default a couple brake pics

In the process of rebuilding my calipers after powdercoat. Was able to get 3 finished last night with rebuilding but need the pads for the rear to complete with new sensors and locking them to reinstall. Also, waiting on new Porsche stickers as well.

Hoping to have some pics of it on the ground this weekend sometime.

My Rufs that were on my 993tt were 18's with 35mm on rear only. I am sorry but me or the PO didn't know what offset they are - and I had them removed yet haven't been around to the dealer to pick them up. Sorry I can't be more help.

I sold those Rufs to the Scott who owned Overdraft's car before he bought it and we put the wheels on that car in my garage. They are std Ruf 18 inch wheels and the recommended spacer is 35mm in the rear and nothing on the front. Here is a link to the Ruf catalogue with the specs of the wheels and recommended spacers.

I just picked up this set of 18" RUF wheels and they came with rear and front RUF spacers maybe this is the spacers you are looking for , the front look like 6mm

Opo, are you using them on a narrow body car or a wide body? Wanted to make sure you are using them and don't want to sell. Those are it. Could you possibly measure the front (if not already on) to confirm the 6mm thickness?

Thanks for posting. I would purchase RUF spacers but too expensive and I can get them from JR which rare911s recommended above.

Let me know if you could.. thanks!

Bryan, I picked up 2 sets of wheels this weekend , this RUF's and a set if GEMBALLA's , I'm undecided which ones I'm going to keep , as soon as u decide I will let you know , but right now I'm leaning more on the gemballas , so the RUF's might go for sell soon if I decide to keep the gemballas , I'm out if town right now and I won't be back til next week to measure the spacers . But they look like they are 6mn ..

Sounds good. PM me once your back in town and decide and we can discuss the spacers and potentially the wheels if you plan on selling the RUF's.

Safe travels,
Bryan
