sentipede

I am looking for wheel spacers for my car, and was wondering if anyone had experiences with them, and any suggestions as to whom to get them from. The range from $400 a set to $150, is there anything I'm looking for?

Porsche has factory spacers..talk to your dealer

Porsche has restrictions on which wheel/tire combinations can be used with spacers. If you want the TSB on this send me a private email with your year and model car.

How about these by H&R?

I use H&R 7mm in the front and 15mm in the rear on my 996 with 18" wheels and 225/40-18 up front and 285/30-18 in the rear. No rubbing, no vibrations and they make a big difference.

Alon, what mm wheel bolts did you have to use on the front and on the back? I have the factory 18" Sport Design rims on my 2000 c4 coupe, I assume it would be the same.

Thanks...

I don't remember what size bolts I used but I'll find out. they are H&R as well and the reuse the Porsche washers (for a lack of better terms). I'll post the sizes tomorrow.

I found the specs for the longer wheel bolts. As I mentioned, they are H&R as well but I'm sure that other companies supply them.

H&R:

front (for 7 mm spacers) #1455206 (52 mm long)
rear (for 15 mm spacers) #1456006 (60 mm long)

They were not very expensive.

I'm sorry. I don't ave any pictures and I haven't taken any recently because I have the winter wheels and tires on the car (it won't help you). I'll post some pictures this spring as soon as i can throw these winter wheels off the car (mind you, by then, I'll have the BBS RS-GT wheels on). I plan to leave the spacers on the car even with the new wheels since they are roughly the same dimensions as the Sport Classic IIs.
