Wheel Spacer Size?

What is the optimal wheel spacer widths to use with the stock 8.0 and 11.0 width turbo twist wheels if you want to widen the track just a bit. 5mm at all corners? Or something else? I'm on factory size tires and no suspension mods, but still don't want any rubbing.

I'm all stock with H&R spacers. Running 7mm front, 18mm rear. Bought mine from USP motorsports

Its perfect in the front, and maybe a little wide in the back. 15mm rear would be less aggressive. Its hard to get pics that tell the real story. Overall I'm super happy with it. I nitpick EVERYTHING, so of course I'd wonder about a 15mm rear... everyone who notices compliments the **** out of it tho

I'm using 8 and 15 mm ECS tuning spacers. GT2 ride height on PSS9 coilovers. I hated the factory wheels look before the spacers. It's amazing the difference it makes in looks alone.

Hello,

We recommend 8mm or 10mm Front and 15mm Rear for the 996 Turbo to get a perfect flush look, It will give it the 996 GT2 look, which we found that the 996 turbo was missing. We have all sizes in stock ready to ship and we also offer a 10% discount for all 6speed members with coupon code "6SPD" at checkout, you can PM us anytime with any questions.

Here are the direct links to the sizes mentioned above.
