question about champion wheel RG5

Anyone have the RG5 19" wheel on a 996tt... I heard that you need to use spacers with this wheel.. is that true? And are you happy with the wheel? I am looking to buy new wheels and these are one of my choices... beside cargraphic and brombachers..

thanks

No spacers required here. Mine mount right up, and look great.

My RG19s don't require spacers either - however, there is room to add them if you want to push the wheels to the edge...

to match the offset of my factory GT2 wheels, I used a 10mm on the
front and a 7mm spacer on the rear. 8.5" fronts and 11.5" rears
Perfect fit and no rubbing.
Great wheels and very light compared to oem!

Fantastic Quality, very lightweight and offsets are correct to factory without spacers.
I recently added a 5mm rear spacer and the optional Porsche 5 mm lug bolts (all from
Alan at Wheel Enhancement) to clear my Protomotive intake tubes that run inside my wheel well. I have the 19's listed above and have run everything from the Texas Mile,
to Drag Racing, to my local track where I just equaled my best time ever using these Champions and MPS2's. Great wheel, looks a little old school now but perfectly true
and still has a decent look.
