No spacers: these are "wide body" rims from a turbo S. Rears push out 16mm and fronts out 7mm and in 5mm as they are 8.5" rims. I'm happy with the results. No rubbing or concerns over the last 2 yrs. I did change the rear 305 tire that came with the rear rims to my 295 off my original wheels and even with the bead of the tire its right about flush with the top of the arch. Any further out would not look good in my opinion. Its looks wide and full.

If you have the "narrow body" Turbo 11 rims then you would need 16mm rears spacers or ( 12mm spacers and 305 tire ) and 7mm fronts spacers to be the same.

GT Silver Metallic - love the black flecks in it and how it looks different under different lighting conditions.

Good for all, large or small! Suspension updates complete + new clutch/lightweight flywheel + downsize 18" wheels. Very happy.

Last summer I bought this 2005 997.1 CAB C2. It has Sport Chrono, Bose, Manual Transmission, Bi-zeon, 6 CD, heated/power seats.
I wish it had PSE and found out that the dealership can add this option for about $3400. Is this worth doing to the value of the car? Or should I just get a Gundo Hack to simulate PSE?
What other "must have" mods should I add? I have a OEM short shift kit on order.

Thanks for all your comments!

I highly recommend getting the Fister hack done. Perfectly acceptable for daily driving and sounds great and Factory.
