Wheel Spacers ?
I'm looking at purchasing some wheel spacers to give my 99 996 cab more of an aggresive look. What size works well without the rubbing issues.

I use 6mm spacers - just enough.

I did the Porsche Teq 5mm set (includes F/R and new longer bolts and locks). Perfect!

Is bolt length going to be an issue when using 6mm or 5mm spacers ?

It is if you do NOT get longer bolts.

I did the 7/15 F/R on a previous 99 and it worked fine. (use the longer bolts!) With an aftermarket wheel and and less positive offset you might have an issue.

Yes you can go as high as 15mm rear, but I didn't want anything that drastic.

Yes you need longer bolts even with 6mm spacers.
