I would think that as long as you purchase the proper offsets for either NB or WB then no spacers would be needed. Now if you want that full fender look, you can always use a spacer to fill it.

+1, check the offset and compare it to your OEM wheels.

offsets vs the stock wheels match up perfectly. Old posts say the LMs dont fit the 997s, maybe BBS started making then in the stock size more recently?
