7 MM in Front and 15 MM in Rear is the perfect setup. Perfectly flush and no rubbing (assuming you have not lowered the car or changed suspension). Factory 997 Turbo Wheels and offsets are:
Front alloy wheels: 19x8.5" ET56
Wheel part number: POR 99736215605
Rear alloy wheels: 19x11" ET51
Wheel part number: POR 99736216202
DC
Front alloy wheels: 19x8.5" ET56
Wheel part number: POR 99736215605
Rear alloy wheels: 19x11" ET51
Wheel part number: POR 99736216202
DC
- 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.

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?

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

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...
