Default (another) Spacers question

thinking about getting some spacers for the CTTS. By reading all the other posts here is my conclusion:

My car is stock set up. Stock GTS 21" wheels. All I want to do is push the wheels out to have a slightly more aggressive stance.

Since this is the case, measure the approx. distance from the outer sidewall to the fender in mm and order spacers that approximate that distance. Looking at ECS tuning spacers that already come with the extended lug nuts.

Am I missing anything? I don't want to make it too complicated!!

If you want to keep it within Porsche recommended spacer widths, 17mm is max. That being said, I have 25mm on the rear and have had no issues.

Nothing on front. I do have some 20mm spacers I've played with but I need longer studs to really try them out. Statically it gives the truck a stuffed look.

I have Techart 22x10 wheels not the factory GTS wheels.

I am running 20mm R and 12mm F, looks perfect. Not sure what the offset is on the GTS wheels so your widths may differ.

*Edit* I tried attaching a couple pics but the new app doesn't want to play nice.

Please try again as I`m curious

So did you have to buy longer bolts to secure the wheels?

The spacers came with the appropriate lengthened lug studs.

I bought mine used from a 997. I need to get the longer studs as I can only get about three turns on the ones I have.

If I get time this weekend, I'll bolt them up and snap some pics.

If you're going with the OEM+ look go 18mm front and 23mm rear or thereabouts. See https://rennlist.com/forums/porsche-...k-spacers.html

installed the spacers tonight. Pretty easy job, a little longer than 2 hrs. I ended up purchasing 15mm for the front and 20mm for the rear. I think it's perfect and I like the more aggressive stance. But it's not too obnoxious and it is very discreet. Good news is I got the calipers very clean while I had the wheels off. Bad news is that I'm gonna need pads very soon! Very happy with ECS tuning!

Pictures?!

This is something I *might* do soon

I been looking at various components for Cayenne braking systems recently and it seemed to me that some places had Turbo S pads for less cash than the regular Turbos.

Part of me thinks though that is down to the fact I have a 2008 model with the oddball rotor sizes (368mm)

ECS seem excellent, shame for me the Canadian $ doesn't go as far and then theres the postage and dreaded import duties - grrrr........

Are these spacer sizes only for 955? Or 958 too?
