this is actually one of the best shots I've seen that outlines the difference between spacers or not, have you had any vibration at all because of the spacers? I've seen some earlier posts that outline the fact that you may get a vibration because the wheels aren't perfectly aligned.

 

While some of the spacers on the market are simple flat discs, the ones I have from Adaptec (there are others as well) are now fully hub-centric and wheel-centric so there is no misalignment. This means that the spacer has an inset on the center than allows it to mate tightly aroiund the lip on the hub, and also provides another matching lip that juts out that allows the wheel to mate properly with the center of the spacer. Here is my front spacer turned both ways. You can see the mating inset and lip. The gaps align with the factory-created mating surfaces on the hub.

 

Yep... That's the goods! Making me want to retry it again. I think 10 and 15 might be nice look. Thoughts?

 

The general wisdom I found when I was researching this for mine was that 7/15 was safe (mine are technically 7/14), although I've seen at least one post claiming 10mm on the front with no front wheel scrub and at least one saying he had minor scrub. It probably just takes it so close that per-car variation comes into play.

It's my understanding there is no way to get the front flush without the danger of major wheel scrub if the wheels are pushed up while turning.

 

Overstate much?

 

Here's mine with 7/15 spacers. IMO, it even looks better when it's lowered.

 

When I did have my spacers on, before returning them, the verdict was certainly out on the look. I have an S with PASM. I feel like my current stock height, wheels, car color, etc. looks pretty good in stock form, even from the side. I think wheel gap is certainly accentuated by a lighter car color. I felt like the 15 MM rear looked great from the back, front and top, but the straight on side view seemed to make the gap look weird or bigger. The front looked good too. If I ever lowered the car, then definitely would go with spacers or probably seek out some different offset wheels.

 

I just put 7 and 15's on my 2009 C2S and they fill out the wheel wells nicely. I'm happy with the result and would say go for it!

 

Photos ??

 

I agree!!

 

I have 2011 C4S and using Adaptec 10mm front and 18mm rear and they're a perfect fit
No issues with rubbing, rock chips, extra dirt, etc.

 

From what I understand the extra space that Porsche leaves (and that we fill in with spacers) is due to the TUV requirement to accommodate chains during winter.

 

porsche sell spacers. so that's ok..

 

Can you post more pictures? I had 23mm on my narrow body and was always hoping to see anything more than 15mm on wide bodies.

Thanks

 

Finally made up mi mind and got the spacers
