H&R spacer question:

I can call Champion tomorrow, but I was looking for an answer tonight.......my 7mm and 15mm spacers have the large bolt holes and a smaller hole so that it can be screwed to the rotor hat. That small hole doesn't line up at all. It was a real pain to mount the wheel with the spacer unsecured, but I wanted to see the new look. Is it a generic application wherein the hole doesn't line up on a Porsche or do I have the wrong spacer??

I had the same problem. My Cayman had offset holes, but my turbo has centered holes. They are not the right spacers.

Get the RSS spacers. RSS is a forum sponsor and Brian is fantastic to work with. I have the 7/15 set up on my 997 Turbo. Highly recommend them

I called Champion this AM and they requested pics. After looking at my pics they concluded that I had a mid-year change of my screw position. It's a convenience issue, not a safety issue. I would think that this problem would befall a lot of cars made after my 2007 if their explanation is correct. Oh well.
