Smile 997.2 C4S spacer question

Can anyone recommend spacer size and brand for my '09 4s? Is it as simple as going with good quality hub and wheel centric spacers, 7mm up front and 15mm in the rear?

I recently swapped out my stock wheels for a customized matching body color set of lobster forks. Thinking pushing these out to the fenders would look even better...thoughts?

I got my spacers from ECSTuning, quality was excellent so far, plus they came with extended lug bolts. I think 7mm might stick out too far, try 5mm front and 15mm rear would look perfect on your car.

Well...you would get no complaints from me if you decided to give a little poke.


15 and 7 are fairly common. please tell us what your offsets are for the wheels... which you can see at your valve stem caps.


Another easy way to figure out what size spacers you need is... take a 4' level, and hold it plumb to the sky....measure from edge of tire to fender edge.


I run 15 and 5 with my 08 4S with stock sport wheels.




PS... I also have ran ECS tuning spacers w/o issues on several cars... they are less money than H&R typically, BUT are black in color.
I wanted silver spacers as to not stick out .


I like H&R for aftermarket brand...made in Germany, great quality and not overly expensive either. they also provide you the correct sized lug bolts to match your application for safety.

iput 09 P turbo wheels on my 06 C4,, fit perfect..if u buy correct offset wheels there should not be any need for spacers in my thinking,,of course I have been accused of being a brain surgeon/rocket scientist by some astute people....

Thanks! I will look into the ECS tuning spacers. My offsets are standard 57/51 currently.

Do any of you guys have pics of before the spacers and after the spacers. Is there a big difference?
