oak, would you point me toward the "off-the-shelf" H&R C/Os, or the "clubsport" Version?

Guys if I have a set of wheels with a 62mm offset (from a 997) what size spacer would you all recommend to be flush as possible?

For H&R's, do I go with Dr's or DRA's?
Thanks guys. These are hub centric as well?

Finally (took a month ... ) got my H&R 15mm spacers (2 sets, so 4 in total). They are the DR series spaces, and I order 60mm bolts as well.

I got stock size BBS wheels and the spacers fit perfectly, and my car sits so much better it's unbelievable. Haven't driven the car enough yet to see if there's any rubbing - but I'm going to do it right now on the shutokou.

Pics coming

Remember to sand the contact point .. it's filthy.

And remember to give your calipers a good cleaning - they deserve it after all the abuse you have given them.

Oh and while you have the chance give the wheel bearing a casual check - just grab the left and right of the rotors and check for play. Then repeat grabbing top and bottom.
