Need some help with Wheel Spacers

I am getting a set of 997 turbo wheels for my 2004 C4S, and am going to need 6mm spacers. I have spent most of the day trying to find some, with no success. Another question also is should I use a hub centric spacer, or can I get away with just a flat spacer, being they are only 6mm thick. If someone can point me as to where to get them, it would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

I have not seen 6mm spacers.
H&R makes a 7mm spacer. Hub centric is always preferred.

Porsche has 5mm

we bought 7 mm spacers for both of our pcars from wheel dynamics. if you type in "wheel dyamics, porsche" you'll see accessories, etc. ask for carlos. he'll help you and let you know if they have other sizes

What's the difference between the two types as I'm looking to add spacers to my ride (probably 15mm)?

Thanks for your responses. I will try the 7mm hub centric spacers. I guess 1mm won't make much of a difference.

racesx, with 15mm spacers, you will have to use hub centric spacers. What it does, is center the wheel to the hub.

7mm are to thin and cannot be made as hubcentric for our p-cars. Dont forget the longer bolts!

Are there problems with the 7mm spacers since they can't be made hub centric? I thought I saw somewhere that they caused vibrations?
