Installed spacers

Just installed hub centric spacers 15mm/7mm

Couldn't of done it without 2 spacer fitting tools, made the job so much easier.

Lightly sanded the hubs then wiped down with isopropyl alcohol to ensure a nice tight fit. Rear spacers by DesignTek, front spacers no name, replaced them in place of the design tek as the 7mm designteks were not hubcentric. Stainless steel bolts inc locking bolts.

I used to have 10/17mm combo which looked perfect.

Adaptec (no affiliation) makes hubcentric AND wheelcentric spacers for the 5mm and 7mm

Yeah agree. The front can definitely go another 3mm. 15/10 would be the ideal setup imo.

Later on down the track when I get bored I might replace the 7's with 10's.

And here I was about to order 4 x 5mm from Porsche, what a waste of time and money that would of been.

Nice! Now time to drop it to reduce the wheel-fender gap. It will give it a more aggressive stance.

oalvarez is infamous around these parts
Just had Techart springs installed but the RSS spacers had yet not arrived. I too ordered 7mm/15mm; do the rear wheels/tires stick out too much? Tough to tell exactly looking at the photo above. Yes, my car has the same wheels as the ones shown.

Thanks,

Edit: found another spacer thread with pics.....no need to respond, I suppose it's somewhat subjective anyhow.
