996 NB Wheel Spacers

Hi there, wondering if anyone can help me with Spacers for my 2003 narrow body 996 carrera. I currently have the stock 18"x10" five spokes on it. What size spacers can i run front and back for a more aggressive stance?

7MM BOTH FRONT AND REAR. I TRIED C14 MM REAR AND IT JUST LOOKS WEIRD FOR A NB IMO.

WWW.MAXSPEED-MOTORSPORTS.COM ASK NELLO

My car looks perfect with the 7mm, looks right.

everyone has different taste.
my brother just got his 7mm spacers and now he says i shoulda gone with 15mm.
my friend and i both had 996NB he went 15 and i did 7 front and 15 rear.
we both thought his looked better. alot of people think the factory setup with no spacers looks better and 5 or 7mm doesnt even make a difference.
btw you can also get the 5mm spacers from porsche with the bolts acorn washers, locking bolts and all

What size H&R wheel spacers can I get away with? 2002 996 coupe

I threw on some H&R lowering springs dropped my 2002 996 coupe the standard 1.25 inches all around (looks great). Im running stock wheels rear 285/30 18s and front 225/40 18s. I want to put the largest H&R spacers on without rubbing. Any one done it yet or have the knowledge on what size to get? Also what bolts would I need.
Thx a million!
