With respect to the forum rules, I can't discuss pricing here. I'll send you a PM shortly and you can always view our spacer line here: http://www.rss.rpmware.com/

I'm about to order some spacers from your site. I'm just hung up on which size I should go with for the rear ( stock 18" turbo twists ). I like the idea of the 18mm but I'm not sure if it's gonna stick out past the wheel wells. I don't want that look where the tires are way out past the wheel well. Maybe just a hair outside and I mean hair, nothing that's going to look gaudy. What's your opinion on how the 18mm and 15mm differ and which one will give the look I'm going for. Unfortunately I couldn't find any pics with stock rims with a 18mm spacer, so I really have no idea how far out the rims will be. thanks.

Hi mj31,
Feel free to call me if you would like to discuss. Personally, if you are running a 295 rear tire, I would stick with 15mm in the rear and 7mm in the front but we can discuss - I'd be happy to help. The 15mm and 18mm only differ by 3mm so it is very subtle....

Thanks for the quick response. I'm running a 225/40/18 front....gonna go with the 7mm. As for the rear 265/35/18 not a 295 and the cars not lowered if that makes a difference?

Have you taken any loose measurements? I think you will be fine with 15mm or 18mm choice. How inset are your rear wheel currently approx? With the 265 rear being stretched on a 18" Turbo Twist - you may be fine with running 18mm... Give me a shout if you want to talk about it....

my car has pss10s and h&r sways front and rear,also i changed the rear lower control arms(tarret adjustable)and when it was done i only needed 15mm spacers for the front,the rears were fine,so lowering the car does make a difference especially the rear,so if your gonna lower the ride wait and see what you will need as far as spacers,by the way i went with h&r spacers and bolts....good luck

anyone know what the size of the stock Porsche OEM wheel spacers offered for the 996 were? 5mm? Could it be ordered from the factory or was it a dealer installed option? thanks!

When you say "painted fender" are you talking about the inner lip? Is this the only reason you would prefer 7mm's ? Thanks.
