You've just convinced me to keep my stock lobsters for track days! I will have them painted red! That would be a cool track look!

This is true, however the Turbo wheels can be ordered in narrow body (C2), Cayman and Boxster fitments.

I would go 7mm on the front...Ideally a 9mm would be best. I also added a 5mm to the rear of my nb with turbo wheels.

Which brand spacer did you go with? I was going to use rss from all the positive reviews but they only make a 5mm. I would prefer a 7mm or 9mm.
