You're right. I checked my build sheet and they are 5mm in the front.

I did a quick search and found that the Carrera Sport rims have a rear offset of 67mm and the turbo rims have a rear offset of 51mm.
Does this seem right?

On an unrelated topic, I'm not a big fan of OEM 997 wheels, but your color matched wheels to body really looks awesome. Great looking ride...

I have the Carreras classic wheels and just installed 7mm in the front & 15mm in the rear. The fronts with the 7mm are perfect. The 15mm in the rear are a tad much for me honestly. I wish they made a 10mm, but they don't. I've decided to live with it for now and maybe when I need new shoes I'll step back down to 7mm in the rear as well.
One thing is for sure, once I stepped out the wheels, you really notice how much nicer the car would look lowered a bit. I'm going to leave it until I need full shock replacements and I'll just go the damp tonics route.

The Carrera Sport rims have a 67mm offset for NB wheels. WB wheels are 51mm.
