Question Should I have spacers at the front?

Rear offset is 11J ET 25, looks weird in the front now....

You should use at least a 15mm spacer for the front.

I haven't seen a 10mm spacer for Porsche, either 7mm or 15mm.

I was planning to custom make a pair.
Are the spacer specific for Porsche universal fit for all rims? Thanks

I have 7mm, 9mm, 12mm, and 15mm spacers (so they do make other sizes); and use them depending on what wheels and tire sizes. Are you sure you have ET40 up front? It doesn't look 40 from the first pic. My et37 (no spacer) looks much more closer to the fenders than yours.

The front wheels look to be around +50-55mm offset. 40 would be pretty flush with the front fender.

Car looks great! Go with 7mm rear and 15mm front and really pimp it! It won't rub if you roll the rears.

I'm running 12" et 45s rear with 15mm spacers and 9.5" fronts with 265s

Thanks guy, maybe I'm wrong, will have them double check while taking them off. But since I have lowered the car and have 1.5 degree camber at the front, will figure out how many should I put.
Besides, do you guys think H&R could apply on aftermarket rims? As I seen they made for stock rims on the hubcentric.

Thanks, but for the rear, especially right hand side the rim is a bit too out and tire looks odd as it is not totally under the fender...Was thinking should I go for 275 to stretch it....

As long as they are 5x130 they will work. My 7mm and 15mm are H&R; but bought offbrand from Ebay for other sizes. They work equally well.
