Hello folks,

I'm looking to put Bridgestone RE-11's on my 997.1's stock lobster claws this spring; 235/35R19 front and 305/30R19 rear. I'd like to lower it on Cargraphic/H&R springs (1.2") and get some spacers, but I'm not sure exactly which spacers to go for; a lot of people throw mention the 7mm front/14 or 15mm rear combination but I don't know if the wider rear tire will cause issues with a spacer that wide. Can anyone chime in on what might be the ideal spacer width to get as close to flush as possible without rubbing? I really appreciate it; thanks!!

 

Since there are a number of factors that can affect the offset needed to be flush (camber, tire width, wheel width, etc), I recommend just doing all of the other changes you want to do first then measuring to determine which spacer you need. I talked about it in a recent thread in post 9 here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...-my-c4s.html#9. Going with general recommendations can get you close, using this method should nail it.

 

Mmm, that's fair. I noticed ECS tuning offers a "spacer fit kit" for $129 which they then refund $110 upon return. That would help me test it out in the real world and determine what works best. I was just wondering if anyone had this exact setup or something very close. I assume the car is aligned to factory spec but who knows what that changes to once it's lowered.

 

Here's my '06 Eibach lowered 15mm spacers rear (305 - 19) / 7mm front




No problems with fit

Ooh, I quite like that. Love the ducktail spoiler and classic PORSCHE script, too.
