5 mm oem spacers

I have stock turbo wheels and i have the oem 5 mm spacers, with long bolts that i had on my 997 c2. will these work on the stock turbo wheels. i am not clear with the tech equipment notes for the spacers for turbo stock wheel application. or do i have to use 5 in front and 17 in rear.

i have seen post where people have different sizes, need advice if i can reuse the oem spacers or sell them

Hi Ronnie,

No that's perfect.. The bolts are the longer ones (with GT on them) and especially if you are lowering the car you'll be great with those and the 5mm spacer kit.
