Any one installed wheel spacers on the 997 turbo yet? if so where did you get them and which size, 5mm, 6mm etc, front/rear.
The car desperately needs them IMHO.

Thanks in advance !

Did you lower the car? If so then they tuck in a lot.. if you're stock ride height I wouldn't go more than 5mm...

 

Sharky,

Still stock ride height, just wanted to pull the wheels out a bit make them fill the space outward a little. That is what I assumed no more than 5mm.

Thanks for reply,

Bajo

 

Im with Alex on this one...I lowered one last week and it really tucked the wheels in especially the rear

 

Ron, you got them in stock, if not how long to get them.
How you been ? Anything new ?

Thanks

Bajo,

What's up bud?
I used Cargraphic lowering springs as per customer request

 

I did it on my 07 997tt.... 15mm in the rears and 7mm in the fronts made by H&R with the longer stud bolts! Looks much more aggressive and aligns better wtih no rubbing issues whatsoever!!!!!

 

It was your post I read that got me thinking about the spacers, I tried every possible word to search the forums to see what size you used and could not find the thread.

Thanks for noticing my thread and replying, BTW where did you get yours from? web addy, phone whatever you got will help.

no worries mate!! i bought them from TKX performance @631-424-3640 and ask for Taso. These guys are good. Give them a call and tell them u want the same setup as Sam's 997tt. good luck!

 

My friend who owns a wheel shop told me that running spacers on any high performance car is a no no even whith the longer bolts, he has seen many cases where the wheels have come off. Just a concern.

 

I don't understand how spacers could cause a wheel to come off come off. Anyone?

 

If you put them on you HAVE to make sure the mounting hardware is longer too. 5mm spacer = 5 mm longer bolts.

You'd be surprised how many people figure thety can avoid that last step. The end result often is one of your wheels passing you on the freeway one day.

 

That would not be a pretty sight to behold !

Damon I am shooting for Tuesday, but will let you know more on Monday, sorry pal its been nuts here and it hasnt let up yet.

Well, I got me some 5mm spacers coming from Mr. Vipertestarossa and should have them in about a week. I will post pics of the before and after look.
Good thing about the 5mm you get to re-use the OE wheel bolts.

Thank you Ron for your help regarding this.

The Porsche 5mm spacers come with longer lug bolts that the OE ones.
