The majority we sell are 7/15mm kits but a few guys will vary off of that.

As Adaptec said 7/15 is most common. I used their product on my 997.2 and they were a good choice since they are hub centric and have the lip for making sure the wheel sits properly. Make sure to get the proper bolts of course.

If you have camber settings outside the norm or different wheel/tire setups, you can use the measurement technique I talked about in this post to confirm what spacer you might need. Here's a link to that post in another thread:

7/15 with H and R, I would have gone a bit wider front and back

Alternatively grab a set of wide body wheels. Rears will give you 16mm, fronts no difference between models. But then can have a set for winter wheels/tires.

Rear: 15mm
Front: 10mm

Rears are perfectly flush. Could've gone with 12mm fronts but I'm still happy with the 10mm spacers.

if you have the 11.5j rear NB wheels a +15 offset might be slightly aggressive. Also with the 8.5j front wheels running oem size tires you can easily go upto +10 or maybe even +12 offset.

Again this will depend on your front alignment. Some like to run a lot of negative camber up front which will make the top portion of the wheels look even more tucked in.

Running 7mm front and 15mm rear - I'd recommend 10mm up front. It isn't quite perfect at 7.
