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.

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.

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?
