Nice

So the spacers are for pure looks?

bought them more for looks, definitely. if you notice on your 996 the wheels are set back in the fender wells a bit, from what I recall reading online (don't know how accurate it is) this is to provide clearance for snow chains. I don't plan on using snow chains

Widening the track does help handling a bit, but i'm sure any benefit there is nominal.

If you put 15mm spacers on, you have to get 15mm bolts that are longer than stock. Nice ride!, welcome to the 6
