Help, anyone in Ma/NH have 997 wheel spacers in? Anyone have experience w/RUF wheels?
-my car is 997 05 narrowbody-
I have an appointment tomorrow to have my RUF 19 wheels installed and had NO clue this would be such a hassle. Longer wheel studs, spacers, etc.... the wheels came off a 996 c4s and came with a RUF spacer with fixed studs but from what I was told this is NOT the right set up to run on a 997....recomended is a 7mm kit...
Anyway, are there any shops local in Ma area (or even NH) that might have a 7mm spacer kit (H/R or other?) in stock for a 997 with the extended studs? I believe anything over 5mm you need the longer studs?
If anyone has any experience fitting 19Rufs on a 997 I would love to pick your brain as I have had people recommend anything from a 7mm to a 15mm spacer for this set up for the rears plus a suggestions of no spacer or a slight spacer up front.
The wheels are front 8.5 x 19 with 56 mm Offset and the rears are 11x19 with 70mm offset.... any help greatly apprecaited all. I want the set up to sit flush with the flare not like factory where the wheels are sunken in a bit. Thanks so much.....

Contact damon@tirerack.com, I am sure he can send them over night to you with the bolts.
Good Luck.
