Hi

I know that SunCoast has 5, 7, amd 15 mm but looking for 10 mm spacers with appropriate lug bolts. Any known sources?

Many thanks

Check here...and he can supply you with the longer bolts too.

they have it all on ebay, 30mm stock bolts so add what ever size for the spacer

 

When I put them on my Boxster, I got H&R spacers and longer bolts from www.allsprings.com They were the most competitively priced at the time and H&R are very good quality

Good luck

 

Before you start looking for spacers, post what size rims/tires you have or are seeking to buy and your current vehicle. Porsche's are notorious for throwing up codes with improper setup. I've heard of burnt clutches, destruction of AWD systems, suspension, just to start. I'd recommend you get all the info before throwing on 10MM spacers to make the wheels stick out further.

 

10mm might cause you problems because I'm told that spacers can't be machined with a hubcentric lip when they're between about 8mm and 12mm. And at 10mm, the wheel probably won't "catch" most of your stock hub lip. Thinner spacers don't need a lip because the wheel will still fit over the stock hub centering. If your wheel is not perfectly hubcentric, then you'll get some nasty vibration at freeway speed. I learned this the hard way when I purchased a set of 10mm's online. I think this is the reason why H&R and RSS and the other major mfr's make 7mm and 14mm (and 15mm), but nothing in between for Porsche.

For the lug bolts, you can use H&R's that are designed for slightly wider spacers. For instance, I think I used H&R lug bolts for 14mm spacers on 12mm spacers that I had machined. Make sure the lug bolts match the metal finish and styling that you want, if you care about that stuff (for instance, the RAD bolts on Amazon.com have a plain, flat, head that doesn't look stock).

Good luck. Let us know what you get!

 

Thanks to all for the replies.

I'm currently running 305 30 19 Mich PSS on Carrera S II wheels (19x11 w/67 mm offset) on a 997.1S w/ OEM AeroKit and would like to set the wheels/tires out slightly and 15 mm is just a little too agressive. I am now using 5 mm's and an additional 5 mm would appear to be about right.

Fronts are 235 35 19 and currently have 5 mm spacers but will be replaced with 7 mm's.

No track, just play.

Thanks, again.

 

Good to know! Thanks. You guys have set me off in a good direction and I'll let you know what comes up.

A sunny Porsche weekend to all.

 

or sink your $ into some wheels you really like and get whatever offsets you like.

 

Anyone put 14mm spacers in front??

 

Instead of making a new thread my car is a 997.1 C2S running MPSS, 295/30/19 rears and 235/35/19 fronts.

Will I be ok with 7mm front and 5mm rear spacers on my car?

 

What are your current offsets?

 

67 rear and 57 front.

 

7mm and 5mm should be fine. The width of the edge of a coin - you probably won't even notice.

 

You can run 15mm in the rear...
