correct wheel spacer size for 996TT
My stock rear tires have rubbed holes in my fender liners from lowering the car. I need to buy spacer but don't know the correct size to buy. Also, next year I plan to switch to R compound tires and want to go from 295s to 315s. Anyone have experience with correct spacer sizing? Will I have to roll my rear fenders?
FVD sells 15mm[5/8"] and 18mm[3/4"] spacers with longer lug bolts. Will these work? I don't want the tires to extend outside the fenders and look out of proportion.

Just my .02 and this is from fiddling with the 19's.
My Techarts were a 25 offset. And I had to roll the fenders just slightly. Maybe keep 25 and the magic number. That is a 19x11 with a 315x25. If I remember right the rear stock is around 45, right? so a 15 would bring you to 35 and I would think well within spec. Even an 18 would still only be 33. Personally I love the wider aggressive look.
Hope that helps.

You can definitely do 15mm all around. 21mm will work if you roll the rear fenders.
I think there is something wrong if you're rubbing through the fender liners on the stock setup.

I don't understand what could be wrong. Stock tires, stock alignment. Car is lowered about 1 1/2" on PSS9s. I do take it to the track. Might need more negative camber.
Who is driving with 315s on the rear? What size spacers?
