Spacers?
I have a set of new Champion RS98s on my 997 C2S that I'm very happy with but am still tempted to add spacers to give them a slightly more aggressive look (I posted some pics in an earlier post). After researching the forum and calling Champion, I was unable to find the exact size I should go with. Any recommendations out there on what size and where to order? My specs are as follows:
19 X 8.5 Front with 53 offset
19 X 11.5 Rear with 62 offset and 305 tire
Techart Springs
Thanks.

probably safe to go 5-7mm.
i think the current offset, lip size tire size/type all need to be considered.
currently my offsets are 47 and 49 with my kinesis f110, 7mm spacer in front and 15mm spacer in rear.
no rubbing, if i had 305 in the rear, it would be sticking out too far, but that also depends on the type of tire i guess.

Keep in mind that as you acquire a better look you may be trading away some of the steering characteristics that Porsche refined for the 997. You may experience a higher level of understeer due to the wider stance in the back, if shimmed out.
