Wheel Spacers...Where to find?
Wheel Spacers...Where to find?
I have a GT2 with Champion RG5s and another board member has the same wheel and his sit almost all the way out to the fender. Mine do not! Does a GT2 have a different offset then a Twin Turbo? Does anyone have know if i can just put a VERY small wheel spacer on mine and fix this? Or should I sell these wheels and get another set that may be made for this car? Any ideas guys would be great. Thanks
Spacers
There are lots of spacer companys. Look on Ebay or go to:
http://www.boothedesign.com/
This guy has exceptional quality spacers. Remember, adding spacers means longer bolts. If you go to wide, you'll
need a spacer with lugs//studs on the spacer. I am running 7mm disc's right now and probably will double that soon, as I have plenty of room. To measure your wheel to fender distance, take something long, flat, and thin....place it against the tires sidewall, then measure the distance to the fender. Of course camber may come into play, if your running negative numbers.

B,
Boothe Design has the NICEST products around, like the new
Lug Bolts that I just bought.
Also, when you get a chance, let's look and see what ET offset is stamped on the back of your Champions.

I used 23mm spacers to convert my narrow body iForged rear wheels over to my turbo. They worked just fine, and they fit perfectly flush with the fender. No issues with spacers, except that the bolts are very ugly and unfinished.
Since I have 3 piece rims, I'm soon going to have just the outer barrel (lip piece) of the iForged wheel converted to a wider size to properly fit the turbo offset so that I don't have to use a spacer. This will also give me around 23mm of extra lip. Perhaps you can do the same with your Champions.

H&R have different size spacer for Porsche. I've saw couple wide body 996 with Champion RG5, I believe they have higher offset compare with other aftermarket bands. Need some spacers to push them out a bit to have aggressive look. If you don't feel comfortable with the spacer, change the wheels to other bands.
Yes GT2's have a different rear offset on the stockers and they have a factory rolled lip to accomidate the larger wheels. I think the gentleman that you are talking about had his rear lip rolled. So just stick some small spacers on there and be happy because you have the best wheels out there
