Default FYI - 997 wide body spacers pics before and after

Ordered some spacers from a Quebec-based company as recommended by a RL member here. Company is 4wheelspacers.com

To be 100% accurate they are out of the US but serve Canada thru QC.

I went with 10mm front and 15mm on the rears. I always find it hard to take these side-shot pictures, but here goes for anyone that might be interested.

Before 2



After 1


After 2

Looks great!

Pic 3 is the angle you want. If you had another before and after with the same angle from the back, that would highlight the front gap.

I'm thinking of doing the same for my 996tt. Were prices alright, and did they come with extended bolts?

Looks great! Any vibrations or handling differences?

No issues - I should have taken pics of the spacers before mounting them, but you can see them on their website. Centric mount, quality pieces.

Well priced, and I bought the package that included longer bolts which are powder coated black.

Yup - the package I bought came with the longer bolts.

They seem quite knowledgeable about what widths to use on what generation of car.

At first they suggested 8mm for the front, but I wound up changing it to 10mm based on some reading I did here on RL

I have the same setup from 4wheelspacers for my 996. In hindsight I think I could have gone 15mm front for a more flush look. Glad it worked out for you!
