Default 7mm spacers rear

Hi,

I have a 996.2 C4 with 265/35-18 (10Jx18) rear wheels.

Does anyone know if 7mm spacers will cause the wheels to touch the wheel arch?

Are they stock wheels? If so 7mm, and up to 15mm is fine

You should have no issue with 7mm. Many run 15mm on stock ET60.

Stock 10x18" wheels are ET65. You would already be +15mm with the 10x18" ET50 wheels so the 7mm spacers could cause some interference. The narrow 265 tires will help some but if you find too much poke with the spacers you can just not use the spacers, no?
