I'm running MPS2's at 235/30/18 and 315/40/18 on my 996TT. My wheels are OEM 2005 GT2 wheels and I'm told the offset is 45, the same as the stock turbo twists. currently using 7mm H&R spacers on the rear and am still getting some rubbing on the INSIDE driver side wheel liner. My fenders are NOT rolled.

My question is, can I use 15mm spacers on the rear and not have fender rubbing on the rear. And if so, can I put my 7mm spacers on the front w/o any problems?

 

If it is only rubbing on one side make sure that the wheel liner is fully intact and pushed in properly to the centerline of the vehicle. I think you can have these spacers without rolling according to what other members have done. What is your suspension?

 

PSS9's at about GT2 height.

 

Hmm, not sure. I just ordered the same spacers with stock suspension. I would be interested to know as well. Here is a large thread that may answer your Q's...

anyone else have an answer?

I thought I read somewher that the oem gt2 fenders are rolled?
so you having spacers, definitely need a fender roll.

 

No, I already HAVE spacers and do NOT need to roll fenders.

 

I had GT2 wheels and tires and ran 7mm in the rear. The rear fenders need to be rolled on the TT (they come factory rolled on the GT2).

The fronts were very close to rubbing the fender liner when turning. Adding a spacer would make contact, frictional heat and could cause a fire.

Remember that the GT2 wheels are 12" in rear. Already 1" wider than stock wheels.

Try test fitting the 15mm spacers. Then drive one front tire up a curb so that the car is sitting with one wheel only on the curb. This will compress the suspension and you can see very closely how the fitment works.

Post the results! I never got around to trying all the different spacer configs and have since sold the wheels and tires.

 

jackthread: i'm running stock sized wheels and tires with 15mm space front and rear, and I'm intending to go 245/40 F 315/30 R - is that going to rub? am I crazy?

 

I have H&R 15mm in the rears and 7mm in the fronts with a stock 996TT setup. No issues at all; love the setup.

 

If your car is still 4wd,you can not run 245/40 F with 315/30R...you will change the rate F to R and burn your 4wd system...The matches you can run are 225/40 with 295/30 and 235/40 with 315/30

 

Okay guys, these pics are of my rear 315/40/18's on 12" GT2 wheels w/ 7mm spacers. You can't see it, but I backed the car up on the curb on both sides (except for the first 2 pics) to get as much compression as the car would allow.

 

And a couple more

 

Your fenders aren't rolled right?

 

That's correct. Since I'm running 7mm spacers now and have just minimal rubbing on the wheel-liner on the driver side, maybe 10mm spacers are the answer.

 

Rolling the fenders will open up another 10-15mm beyond what yo have. i bet 15mm spacers will fit with no issues.
