Rear wheels flush with fender? What spacers

As the title says how do I get my rears more flush? Maybe its bad angle but it seems my wheels are a little behind it if you know what I mean

15mm at the back on stock OEM wheels is ideal.

Is that enough to require longer studs? Thanks

what kind of wheels ? what brand of tires ? are you lowered ? do you know your alignment specs ? and yes you will need longer studs with anything more than 5mm

Yes. The stock wheel bolts are 45mm and you would need the 60mm wheel bolts to make 15mm spacers work. We offer a few different sized kits that include everything you need, for more information Click Here.

If it is 15mm for the rear, how about the fronts?

Hate to correct you guys, but that's wrong. The stock bolts are about 30mm. So for a 15mm spacer, you'd need 45mm bolts. If you try putting a 60mm bolt on with a 15mm spacer, it's going to right through and nail the hub.

I've got 15's in stock with two bolt choices, black or zinc-plated.

You're not wrong. We include the length of the ball seat in our measurements, the 45mm is only 30mm threaded length and the 60mm would only be 45mm threaded length.

Most folks use 7mm on the fronts

Ah ok...that makes sense then. Just keep in mind, if someone calls Porsche, the spec for the bolt according to Porsche doesn't include the length of the ball seat, so it might become misleading. I'd just use the standard method of measuring if I were you guys, to avoid any hassles. Just some friendly advice.
