I bought a set of st wheels for my stock 996 turbo. The seller didn't tell me about the spacer required. They are the right part number but were these wheels not designed for this car? They rub the rear wheel well without the spacer.

After putting on the spacer, are there any issues with rubbing the front of the tire with the wheel well? Anyone running the 5 mm spacers up front as well? If so, any fitment problems?

 

I have them on my car. You need 17mm spacer on the rear, no spacer on the front. They were an option for the turbo so they should fit and perform perfectly with the rear spacer.

Just put the new wheels on w spacers. Looks awesome. Anyone notice fit w wheel liner tighter on pass side than driver side? Bought my car used so not completely sure of accident history but trusted the seller. From the outside looks symmetrical

 

You can go bigger than stock spacers by a large margin front and rear. If you can scare up the offset specifications, I can calculate the sizes you can get away with.
