Spacers for stock 997tt wheels

I have a friend who bought a new 997tt and he would like to do spacers on the stock wheels. He just had Techart springs installed. Sam (cooperlee) had 7mm in front and 15mm in rear and his car looked awesome. Is that what everyone else is using or does anyone have any other suggestion?

Thanks
Raudel

That is the exact setup I run with the Stock wheels. I run 7mm front and rear with the new setup.

You can run 14mm if you want but the 15mm is more than fine.

Thanks Alpine!

Are the spacers H&R ?
Who did you buy them from?

RC - yes the spacers are H&R. I got them from www.allsprings.com but I am sure there the sponsors on here who can hook you up with some.

You also want to order the 52mm extended bolts with removable ball seats for the 7mm spacers. I had the 61mm for the 15mm spacer I ran before the 7mm and they worked just fine. No hitting of the rear area.

What do they mean by Seat Wheel Bolts or Ball Wheel Bolts?

15mm rears and 7mm fronts are perfect. Make sure to use longer bolts and get H&R spacers only.

Ball Seat Wheel Bolt.



Porsche Removable Seat Wheel Bolt:



Notice the floating seat ball? - It's removable with some manufacturers. The OEM is not removable but my extended bolts are - hence removable seat.
