That makes sense on the leverage affecting spring response. It's by no means soft, but just a touch less teeth rattling when you hit a rough spot. I had the same thought on the oversteer effect and wasn't too surprised at that.

I have about 2K miles left on the rear tires. I was going to switch back to PS2's and have it realigned at that time.

BTW. No rubbing with 14's on the front using the stock 225's. It looks like there is clearance for 235's, but they would stick out too far.

A dumb question. To my knowledge all 996 turbos have 14mm rear spacers factory installed. My car was sold new in Italy so it came with ROW suspension.

Did the U.S. models come with no spacers rear?

I installed PSS10 suspension and now I think my car needs a bith thicker spacers for rear and especially some widening in front. The front wheels seem to have "gone in" quite a lot. PSS10 lowered my car by on centimeter.

Should I bring out the wheels exactly by same amount front and rear - will I run into handling problems if I only bring out the fronts?

I run stock wheels and tire size.

It really depends on wheel offsets too. Stock.or non stock wheels/off sets.

Guybrush Wilkinson

Stock offset, original rims and wheel size. Only mod is PSS10 suspension. U.S. imports dont have rear spacers?

Since this got resurrected, just an update on spacers and alignment. It's been about 2000 miles and I'm still not to my wear markers on the rear ( which was my guess as to how much wear was left when I got the spacers). So at a minimum, it doesn't seem to affect the alignment at least measured in terms of tire wear.

I love those GT3 wheels. Im waiting on my bolts to come in tomorrow so i can slap my wheels on my 6TT.

gt2 offsets with 5 mm spacers front and 14mm spacers rear

so what i learned is... when ordering wheels front offsets should be 35 and rear offesets a 30

Hi,

I bought spacers, Eibach 7 mm front with hub center and 15 mm rear. I also got longer bolts But...the heads on the bolts are smaller then the stock ones. Is this the case with others like H&R and such?

Berra

This is what I mean:

I think a more critical detail is the angle of where the bolt seats against the wheel.

H&R replacement spacer bolts do have the floating ball seat.

I sent those stupid ones back, H&R´s are on the way. Thank you!
