Very strange! I have a wholesale account with them and they told me that they do not sell H&R spacers... I was told that by 3 different salesmen... I thought that was strange given the fact that they sell other h&r products such as coilovers, springs, and swaybars...

Your car looks FANTASTIC! No rubbing with that setup, I would assume. Which set of H&rs did you go with and can you give us a review of your experience with them? I am currently looking for a set on my car and the H&R products seem to be the cheapest option out there. They make two different lines : street-performance and a custom clubsport set.

You can do 15mm all around, 21mm rears if you roll the fenders.

I ordered my 15mm H&R spacers from Automotion aka Performance Product 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for them to be shipped. They don't stock them and what they do is drop ship. But they do have a great price. So buyers beware.

I had no rubbing, but you may experience some rubbing. It seems like it just depends on your set up. No biggie if you need to roll your fenders. I just used the Eastwood version when I went with 12's rears with 315's.

The H&R's were great I had no problems with them at all. They worked fine on the street and track. Best bang for the buck!

once you get spacers and if you need to roll your fenders the eastwood tool works great.

I used a 2lb hammer with duct tape at the striking end. Took 2 minutes per side and came out perfect.

I bought a set from Ruf. 15mm on the rear and 7mm for the front.
The rear 15mm have pressed in studs. The 7mm come with studs that you screw into the existing lug nut holes. These were ordered with a set of black magnesium lug nuts. Ruf spacers are hub centric.

I fit tested the 15mm on the front recently to see if there would be any problems and I found my stock wheel\tire with stock ride height rubbed the front portion of the fender well when I turned the wheel.

The Ruf tech said they do not recommend the 15mm on the front of the TT.

Ray C. is infamous around these parts
This thread has been helpfull for me. As mentioned in my prior post, I contacted Damon @ Tirerack and he had the 7mm and 15mm spacers with associated lugs. These do not show on their website at this time but he has them in stock. TR recommends the 7mm in front with stock suspension/wheels; 15mm for the rears. I will post a comment once they are on the car.

Option IXRN on 996TT and C4S was a 17 mm spacer for the rear, part number 996.361.617.00.

Check PET Illustration 501-00.
