I just had to have mine removed because they were causing my wheels to be slightly off-center - Lug-centric rather than hub-centric as the tire-guy explained. Created a horrible shimmy over 64mph. They were installed by the PO, and they made the car look awesome. Would love to find some that won't affect the ride. Any suggestions?

 

FVD spacers. Excellent quality and no problems with mine.

 

+1 I ran 7s and 15s on the C4S. Perfect. Lugs included with spacers.

 

I have both 5mm and 17mm Porsche spacers and they are perfect.

 

you have to get hub centric spacers. Others wont work. The spacer has to replicate the hub shape so it will center the wheel

 

+1. I use them on the race car without issues....

 

+2... H&R hubcentric for me, expensive but worth it...

 

I put HR"s on my C4s. 7mm on front and 14 mm on rear, no problems and ordered them from Damon at Tire Rack.

 

Find some on ebay

 

I took them with me to the casino once and lost my ***..... I really shoudlnt post when I have been drinking.. Sam Adams............

 

I run stock wheels... perfect. Only get aftermarket wheels that are... perfect, too.

 

I just purchased a 2000 C4 - and I wonder if a set of 5 mil spacers I used successfull on my 1991 C2 will work OK. On that 911 I did not use longer studs. Would this be the same on the 996?

 

I think I have some extra Ruf hubcentric spacers somewhere. Maybe 5 or 7 mm. I'm not even sure any more I'll go look and update my post.


Edit: looks like I have both Ruf and HR 7mm spacers. I am positive the Ruf ones are hubcentric. If anyone needs them pm me. We'll figure out a price.

SOLD

The 7mm Ruf spacers are PN R96 331 611 07. These are hubcentric and have the mounting screws. From Ruf they are $99 each! doh! Ruf parts manual, p. 6.

The 7mm H&R spacers are PN 1495716. They are NOT hubcentric and run around $75 for a pair.

I have a couple bags of lugs as well, but I don't know if they are the longer or not. I can check if anyone needs lugs.

I'll sell all 4 spacers for $150 shipped to you in the US.

Thanks guys. You're a big help. Now I just need to measure my old ones. Don't know the size, but they are huge! About an inch thick. Guess I need to do some metric conversion now. I'll try to post some pics later.
