Drove it from STL area to Amelia Island. Nice to be in the warm weather.

Shammerman - Thanks, Ill be honest I wasn't sure if wanted to have this changes done ( I love the 997 stock look), but I decided to move forward because I felt it was time to set my 997 alittle bit apart from others.
Thanks again for your comments!

Replaced OEM brake fluid with high temp Endless RF-650. Also, upgraded interior with led light package from USP Motorsports.

Rear tires are 305/30/19.

The wheels that came with the car were et67, which apparently should have come with a factory 17mm spacer installed to bring the offset to et50.

I just got the car recently, and found there was no spacer installed. So, instead of going with a 17mm, I got 30mm H&Rs, to bring the wheels out just a little bit more. Final offset is et37

I don't think that's correct. It's my understanding that those wheels on a wide body (4 or 4s or the Targas) come without spacers and with a correct (less) offset. As a matter of fact, Porsche doesn't even offer spacers for hose wheels on the narrow body.

On certain years the rear et67 Carrera Sport wheels on the widebody 4s came from the factory with 17mm spacers. This has been confirmed with multiple internet posts

https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...ml#post6134140

Later in production (maybe for 997.2 cars?) they started to offer the rear 19x11.5 in et50 for the widebody cars (no spacer needed).

Adding a 30mm spacer to the et67 wheels, is equivalent to adding a 13mm spacer to the et50 wheels. You get the same final offset.

15mm spacers in the rear is a common addition for the widebody cars to bring the wheels flush. So, 13mm is no problem.

I don't think I've posted in this thread since I got my GT3... Here are a few things I did yesterday:

These scoops were not easy to install without really thin needle nose pliers... But boy do they look good!

Pics don't do them justice. And more exterior CF is in the mail...

Now interior. I got rid of all the alcantara that I touch with my hands - steering wheel, shifter, E-brake. All had to go. Went leather with red stitching to match the rest of the interior. Very happy with the results. Car's not the cleanest but you get the idea...

Leather feels sooo much better! Especially the steering wheel, love it. No more of that plastic crap that's on the OEM steering wheel. I couldn't stand it.
