Running 285 with 15 mm spacers, on NB -01

Have anyone here actually been running 285 with 15 mm spacers in the rear, on there NB 1999-2001 porsche ?

I am running 10" rims with ET 65 in the rear, and used to have 265 with 15 mm spacers. After I changed the tires to 285 I removed the spacers. I am concidering putting them back, but need to know thats is possible!

Car is 30 mm lower than standard.

thx for helping out. And yes, the fenders are rolled.!

I'm running those. You can easily run those and considering your fenders are rolled, you can even go up a couple tire sizes or run thicker spacers. But 285 tires on 15mm spacers with 65mm offset rims are very safe.

Ok, I can now confirm:


Running 285 with 15 mm Spacers on a 2001 NB, 30 mm lower than original with rolled fenders are Not a problem
