added 8mm spacers to the front. Too much?
Had my car in for service and my service adviser said that I should add spacers to my front wheels to better match the rears. (I had 18mm spacers put on the back when I swapped out the wheels)
So, I told them to go ahead and throw on some spacers on the front since they were taking the wheels off anyway. He suggested/installed 8mm on the front.
I can't tell if the fronts are pushed too far out in relation to the rears. Not sure anyone can tell from these photos, but just looking for some opinions.

I would use 7 or 8 on front, 7 is more common, and 38mm lug bolts, also 15 rear is common, with 45 bolts.
Looks like you may already have chrome lug bolts, if not they always look better than stock. All available on ebay

Asking for opinions around here can be dangerous...
Some people will tell you they look great. Some people will tell you that they are pushed out too far, and the rears are also pushed out too far.
The real question is: What do you think?
If you like the way they look, then that's all that really matters.

is your car a c2/c4? ... for some reason i am guessing c4 from what i see. if it is indeed a c4s i think you'll need to push out the rear further then 18mm.
if c2s then 8/18 would work fine but if its a c4s, for the 11.5 inch narrow-body only-spec sport rears to look normal compared to the fronts, the rears would have to have 16mm rear spacer (while leaving fronts as is). if you add another 8 to the fronts you would have to push the rears further out as well (for wide body porsches and that specific narrow body only wheel design).
