I want to add spacers to my 997 TT but don't want to lower it. Curious which spacers people have, which companies are the best, what sizes work best, etc etc. Pls post pics. Tx!

It's just a piece of turned aluminum if I am not mistaken so I don't think you will find much discretion across the brands. The hub centric ones are the way to go so that you are assured the spacer is center itself as the wheel is tightened. There are threads on here with pics, but I can't recall where I found them. If memory serves me correct 5mm on the front and 12mm on the rear will bring tires to the edge without sticking out. Since the fender curves a little and then small variances in tire pressure and model may vary, but these have been widely discussed on this forum as the standard for pushing non-height molested TT tires out to the edge. Any further even a few millimeters will throw water/debris on the quarter panel. Sorry I can't help on the pics since I haven't pulled the trigger yet. You will usually see sets on here for sale around 150 or so. 5mm up front will not require anything extra, but the 12mm on the rear may require extensions or they are offset on the spacer. Adaptec is a sponsor on here I believe and I'm sure he could answer up as well as Suncoast has them under their "Wheel Accessories" section I believe. Good luck.
