Can you post some before and after pics? Also did you get the 5mm spacers or go larger?

I went with factory 5mm as I could not find anything under 14mm that was non-factory. If i could, I would do 5mm front and 10mm rear.
Just went outside to get some after pics. Not the best, but from the before and after, you can see a small difference in how the wheels fill out the wheel well.

DBYT - every time I see that blue I love it. Thanks for taking the pics so fast. You car looks fantastic! I love the wheels and I can see a subtle difference in the 2 pics with the spacers it looks great. I kicked this around when I placed my order and ended up not getting them. I'll have to revisit that decision in a month or so when she comes in.

Got 5mm spacers, clear side markers and bike rack myself. Also waiting for end of feb delivery. Fortunately I am extremely busy with work and a 7 month old amazing son. If I was just sitting around I don't think I'd make it.

"future toy eligible"
this was my first toy....my previous toys (about 3.5 991 Porsche worth of toy) has been spent on one two children: undergraduate tuitions (tuition meaning, tuition, books, food, transportation, lodging, clothing), one graduate school tuition, 2.5 years of undergraduate school tuition.
I now anticipate spending another 2 991 Porsche on 1.5 more undergraduate school tuition and law school tuition.
....while I was always eligible for toys something always seemed to crop up so I figured that I would pull the trigger as come May 2013, I'm only paying for one in college and not two.

PS DBYT, I love your car's color. I bought a similar one when I got back from Vietnam in 1970.

Yep, college costs never seem to stop; we now contribute significantly every year at Christmas to our 5 grandsons' college tuition (but I'm glad we're in the position to do it).

Park next to a 991 without them and watch the people. You can tell who are the real Porsche nuts - they are ones looking back and forth and smiling.
