without the wheel design its impossible for us to help in an educated manner.

porsche makes multiple width and offset wheels for 997.

we have to see which design it is - but if its an unaltered 997.2 c4s (with no factory wheel upgrade/adjustment) then it will have the 8"+57F 11"+51R. and the info re the 12F/15Rmm spacers given will apply.

You know it's not a wide body right?
I'm running 20mm spacers on all four corners on stock 4S wheels. I like the look and it does stabilize the car a little at the track. Got mine from FastCo USA in St. Pete, Fl (local) and they supplied the longer lug bolts that are needed. This video was looking at the paint. But it shows the offset with the spacers pretty well.

were these on the build sheet as an option?

if they *should* be 19x8+57F 19x11+51R (standard 997.2 WB width and offset). the front's i am pretty much positive only come in that sizing. the rears should come in both NB + WB and if its the original wheel on the car it should be the WB sizing.

Can I do 21's all around on stock C4S, or is 15mm the max? Mine came with factory 5mm. I wonder why they bother to offer it, as 5 mm does not do much.

Wolf. Have you lowered yours also. The way the wheels sit is just lovely.

15mm max front and rear - assuming you are running 8"/11" wheels.

you don't mean 21" (diameter) wheels do you?

I meant 21mm spacer . Seems like I’m reading about guys with 15mm spacers saying they are not enough so I thought 21’s. I already have 5mm. I am going to do the straight edge test. I have not done that yet.

Looks great! How are the Bilsteins? I’ve been waffling in putting those in for 2 years now.
