Techart and spacers

Hi guys, I haven’t posted much in a while as I’ve been quite busy, always browsing though to see what’s happening.

I recently fitted 19” Techart formula wheels to my 996 turbo and really like them. The problem is, I noticed they are slightly rubbing on the rear arch liners. I remember from years back the recommended spacing was 15mm in the rear and 7mm up front. Problem is, the fronts already look very far out! I don’t think their is room for more? The backs are tucked in though compared to the wheels I took off. I noticed some 18mm eibach spacers on eBay for the rear, would they be suitable? Thanks for any help

s65e90 is infamous around these parts
Take a measurement and see how much spacer you need? Kinda hard asking a forum for help especially without pics. Those could be NB wheels and need the big rear spacer to work right.

7x15 is indeed, the traditionally best choice for 18's. 19's and spacers, i wouldn't know.
