Default Wheel spacers for wide body

Gents, It took a little while before I decided to go ahead and ask that question, knowing that it does annoy some people to see similar questions all the time, but I have a specific one to which I couldn't find an answer.

So, I have a targa 4 which as you know has the widebody. My wheels are sport design wheels and I am certain that they are for the wide body too, since they are almost perfect as it is.

So my question is: what width spacers do I need for a WB with WB wheels. I was gonna go with 7mm front and 10mm rear. I don't want the wheels to stick outside or even close to outside the wheelwell. I'd like a perfect stance without looking like I am running the wrong wheels.

Petza is probably the most knowledgeable of all wheel spacing gurus here - if you post your current offsets and tires it might help or just measure where you're at and where you want to be and buy the appropriate spacers and longer bolts that most likely will be needed.

I bought these when I spaced my previous car out. There are 2 options for Porsche with hubcentric support on the thicker ones. 42 Draft Designs - nice guys as well as excellent craftsmen.

You will also need this - BE CAREFUL when using - it spreads like the plague.
