if you have the 18" wheels.
I just want to bring out the wheels but not as much that if you over bump, it messes up the fender.
Someone said here that Dealer has this item (Porsche OEM part), but today, my dealer said that is not true.
So i am a bit confused, i hear diff stories sometimes here and what dealer says.

Has anyone put spacers on front to do what i am trying to do? or is that a crazy idea?

It is just too much inside and looks ugly like the new M3's , in front , they are sitting too much inside and does not look right.

thx.

i have posted a pic of the look now.

 

I'm doing the same...Just waiting for my spacers to arrive at Akkurat...

Then we'll put these on at the same time!

 

I have 5mm Porsche OEM all around on MY03 996 lowered with H&R Coilover pushed the wheels out far enough and no scrapes or hits inside the wheels arch.

 

did sandoval do those calipers?

 

Do you have the part number for the Porsche 5mm spacers?

 

No, they are from Akkurat.

 

Shawn C can answer your questions. I know he put them on his 996

 

I personally don't think it's a great idea to use spacers if you don't have to. It negatively impacts suspension geometry (scrub radius) even though you marginally increase front track. That said, I doubt you will feel any difference with a thin, 5mm spacer. As you go to 15mm spacers and thicker, the difference is noticeable. . . at least on other McPherson strut cars like my M3.

you should take in mind that all porsches are hand built and will have variable widths on fender and quarter pannel. they are not exactly percise therefore every car is different, also the amount of camber your car is set up will make a few mm difference. so this assessment could only be made by you. i have seen cars with 5mm spacers that sit flush to the wheel well and others that required a 12mm spacer to sit flush, even 8mm on one side and 12mm on the otherside. so the best thing is to first get an alignment so the camber is correct to your liking and tow. then use a level and ruler to figure out how large a spacer you will need, i would recommend H&R or eibach spacers.

 

I have a set of used 15mm spacers if you are interested in them.
