Default 996 NB Spacers on OEM 5 spokes?

Hi fellow 996ers,

My 996 Targa (nb) is currently rolling on the stock Carrera 5 spoke wheels (link below) and PSS10s. Does anyone here have pictures with spacers on their narrow body 996 with those wheels? I'm attempting a flush-ish look, with the face of the wheel directly under the fenders.

All help is appreciated. Thanks.

There's a large gap between the fender and wheel and in my opinion, would look much more aggressive if filled, either with a wider wheel or spacer.

Randy:

Looks great! Did you only put 15mm in the front? or all around? And also, do you think the car could fit even larger spacers?

My '02 NB has the 18" 5 spokes and PSS9s lowered and I put 7mm FVD Brombachers all the way around to keep the balance. Very pleased. Too far out and the sides of the car under the body curve get too dirty/dinged to fast from kick back from the tires.

spacer look cool but then the tires spit all kind of debris on the side of your car.. keep that in mind
