Narrow body wheels on wide body
Upgraded to a 997.2 4S from 997.1S. I have an extra set of winter wheels/tires but of course they are the non widebody Carrera classic model.
Currently have them them mounted and they obviously are just a little more tucked inside, 16mm more.
Rather than buy new wheels which would run $1000 as I haven’t been able to find just the rears, would 10mm spacers make sense?
Yes they would still be tucked but it would be less so. Figure with the poor weather it may help with rocks and stuff being flung up.
Any other thoughts? Also the tires are still OEM size but just having a different offset can’t be bad for the differential/AWD system can it?

no issues for regular driving at all. Get the spacers and be done with it

Not pushing the wheels all the way out would also give you the opportunity to put on low profile snow chains should the need arise.

And......if the rear wheels and tires are tucked in a bit more, not a bad thing to protect the fenders from all the chemicals and debris on winter roads.
