mass is infamous around these parts
Detailed with spacers
Enjoy. 5MM front and 17MM back from Porsche.
Now you can appreciate just how low the sports PASM is compared to the first generation with just standard PASM.

Nice. I'm assuming the factory wheels are 8" and 11" rims, with 57mm and 67mm offsets, front and rear respectively.

I run spacers on my car as well, makes it look a lot nicer then wheels recessed in the wheel well. The 997.2 sports suspension sits a lot lower then the 997.1, very nice.

The PASM2 looks as if it has a TechArt (Eibach) spring kit on the car...nice. You know it's not the 30hp and DI that really draws me to a 09, but the LSD. Oh well..my lease is up in 2 years...Ii'm getting the spacers..that rear looks awesome with the tires out to the edge. Can you go 17mm on the front as well?

BTW..awesome and congrats. I love GR, almost got it over SY.

Dave

If it is LSD you like, rather than buy a 997.2 it would be cheaper to put one in your car like Ed (Northvan997C2S) did. I believe 7mm is the maximum recommended spacer for the front wheels. Don't forget that spacers impact your steering geometry.

I agree Ken, the 997.2 is nice, but for the extra money that it would take to get there, I am staying with mine. Hell buy a slightly used 07 997GT3 for the same money.

I think that you could go a little wider in the front, I have 7mm, 10mm might work, but I am not 100% sure if they would rub at that point or not.

Those are wide body offsets. The OP has a narrow body car.

Thanks Ken..I would like to do the Quaife. The 997.2 is wonderful..not that much of a change worth it for me. In 2 years the next generation should be out or I may just keep this one and be done with buying. I could live with my car now for a long time.

They likely do make both versions, but I don't know for sure. Someone else will have to answer that one.
