Added the porsche 5mm spacer kit..

I have stock wheels and just wanted to push the wheels out a drop to "fill" the wells more.

I got the Porsche 5 mm spacer kit. Nice package. A longer set of lug also with security lugs, 4 spacers, and screws to hold the spacers in place.

Believe it or not, 5 mm does make a visible difference.

Also it gives a little more space between the wheel spokes and the front calipers. Makes it a bit easier to clean.

Here are some pics. Not the best but you get the idea. I included a picture of the brakes just cause the look so cool.

I ordered from B W Motorsport. The advertise in Excellence. They had the best price I could find. Carnewal has them too but with the Euro so high, their prices are getting high.

Hmm, no I did not. I think they are aluminum. Actually the tight area is right on the hub (as the spacers are hub centric).

Do you think it will be a problem?
