I wanted to find out who is running wheels spacers. If you are please provide the following information in a response:

1. Sizes front and rear
2. Brand
3. Source
4. Price
5. Any comments good or bad while using them.

Thanks in advance!!

 

anyone with RUF wheels has them...
I think if your wheel are built with the correct offsets there is no need for spacers....

 

I was looking at pictures and it seems some wheels fill out the wheel well better than others. I particularly notice this in the rear. It is very prominent on Gemballa's German site where the tires are right at the fender lip.

 

When I picked up my car from the dealer they already had them. I have the factory Sport techno rims.

 

Can a small spacer be used with stock wheels (shamefull look) to bring them out a touch and mabey look a little better?

 

Gemballa makes their own spacers I believe...there was a set of 15mm gemballa spacers on ebay...
I think it has to do with offset though cause Evan's HREs go all the way out to the fenders (too much IMO) whereas mine and others dont 'stick out' as far...Both are same size wheels but different offsets. Peter at Wheel Experts is the authority on offsets. There was a discussion in a recnet post (I think one of Shank's threads)

 

Some of the wheels you see like that are just running an aggressive offset, keep in mind on a lowered car that will be a problem with your fender lips.

 

Ken...call asgar at ruf...i have them on my car but i don't know the specs!!

 

I run 7mm RUF spacers up front. Any porsche dealer will have them. I needed the extra clearance for those darn brakes...

 

H&R makes spacers for almost any car especially if u need only a small spacer to "increase the width" of your tires, or if u need some crazyy a$$ spacer you can have a very competent machine shop make you one out of billet

 

I know FVD carries spacers, give Bryan a call for the specs. I guess u know you need hubcentric.

 

I have the Porsche Tequipment Spacers. They come with longer bolts and with screws that attach the spacers to the hubs. It cost me $300 and I am happy with them. All 4 wheels have the 5mm spacers. I had the same on my 99 cab and never had a porblem with balance issues.

I have a pair of the Ralph Boothe 6mm spcers on the rear. I wanted to bring the wheels out just a bit and they work fine. It is a bit more of a pain to put a wheel on as the centering "ring" that you can "hang" the wheel on is drastically reduced in size.

 

Here is a list of wheel spacers available from H&R and their prices.
All prices are for a pair. Wheel bolts are an additional $2.75.

7mm-$58.95
14mm-$95
15mm-$95
18mm-$99.95
23mm-$99.95

All H&R spacers are TÃœV approved.

 

Hi, I have the answers that you are seeking about spacers. First you can check my web site as I am a sponsor on 6speed. that is Boothe Design or boothedesign.com. We make a superior quality product. We make spacer/adapters from 1/8 in. to 3 inches wide. Porsche asked us to show them our spacer/adapters a few years ago. They immediately fired my sample back to me and stated that they would never approve an adapter. Did all of you notice that adapters, just like ours, were standard O.E.M. equipment on the 993 Porsche. They have been selling adapters ever since. I just picked up a new Tequipment Boxster book and they are promoting adapers and spacers for a track widening kit. It looks just like they had taken photographs of our parts.
