Rear alloy wheels: 19x11" ET51

I would prefer rims with with less ET:
- 6 less in the front, so ET 50
- 16 less in the rear, so ET 35
Never liked spacers (just a feeling)

5mm all the way around and it's just right for me.

Be careful going too wide up front. You're going to get a lot more debris from the tires shooting up the side of the car.

Does anyone have a preference of spacers to use so that you don't have any vibration issues...I am assuming as long as they are hub centric then you would not have any vibration issues???

I am looking currently looking at the RSS spacers...any feedback?

So, I had my car lowered and 7mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers in the rear. It looks great!! But, since I've had them on, the car has developed a mild pop when turning the wheels in slow speed. For example, when reversing out of a parking spot and then moving forward and turning the wheels? Is this something to do with the suspension and spacers, or steering issues?

Get under there and see if you have anything rubbing?

Nothing rubbing, unfortunately... Could one of them just be loose?

Hope you figured out the "popping soud" but can you post some pics of your car lowered with spacers? And what springs did you go with? Thanks.

I decided to put my stock wheels back on it.





I didn't like the way the car looked with the black wheels and the tint. I couldn't figure out which part I didn't like either. So, I put the stock wheels back on and I'm going to go with less tint, if any, soon. I think it takes away the perfect lines of the 997TT

So, both pictures are with the H&R springs and 7mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers in the rear.

Things popping on suspension is not good...wheels/tires/suspension are all safety related items and you should have someone check the car...Maybe it is spring, or strut, or...steering rack, ... (your car looks better with stock color wheels IMHO)

I'm taking it in first thing Monday morning. It started happening about 300 miles after I put the H&R Springs on. It only does it when reversing then moving the wheel back to start going forward. At driving speeds, it never happens...
