I've got an 09 997.2 base Carrera... is that what you refer a "C2" to?

Mine has the 18" wheels... is there any point to adding spacers with the stock 18" wheels or is that not worth even doing?

Can you still use the stock lug bolts with the spacers or do you need new/longer ones?

How much are the spacers? Source?

The spacer kits that we sell come with lugs and wheel alignment pin. Its a very simple install. Please pm me for more details.

997.2 is what I was referring to- yes. Although I have the S, 19" wheels, methinks the spacers will still look great with 18" wheels- still pushes them out and looks more aggressive.

Champion Motorsports in Pompano, Fl is where I went. Not expensive.......

From what I was told at champion motorsports, the only reason to go with the 5mm spacers up front is that they are a bit cheaper-don't need the new lugs and lug nuts that come with the 7mm kit. Didn't matter, they were out of stock on the 5mm, so I went 7mm.
No wheel alignment needed. The front is noticeable, but the rear, fugedaboudittt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those rear spacers don't look like 30mm (1 1/8"), I think you have 15mm in the rear (between 1/2" and 5/8"). It looks great though.

Yeah I was about to say...no way you have 30mm each side for the rear....then when I saw you got them from Champion I knew they would not steer you wrong with something like that. LOL

Loos good and now all you need to do is get with Champion and set the ride height a little lower so you donlt have that 4X4 look going on.

Has anyone answered the what is the advantage question? The obvious is looks, but what about handling. In racing applications you usually add spaces to fit larger tires for more contact patch. In this case, keeping the contact patch the same, I only see a slight wider vehicle stance. This should improve handling slightly, but I have not installed them, so I cannot comment on the same.
