Are spacers available for centerlocks?

Was curious if they were offered for those of us who have centerlocks?

This is a great question...as the centerlock wheels style looks great but they do seem more inset in the wheel well when compared to the after market offsets.

Absolutely NOT. The design of the Porsche Centerlock system (and most other systems) precludes the use of any type of spacer.

Great Question, Anyone has detail drawing of the Centerlock system? Would it be very difficult to find aftermarket wheel with Centerlock System? Thanks for sharing.....

I haven't seen any drawings of the system... But if you see a wheel off the car and see the back of the wheel, and the face of the hub, it's pretty obvious that a spacer would cause a few issues... first and formost would be the length of the locknut to the threaded spindle distance which is a deal "killer".

What's the story with the GT2 and GT3 centerlocks? They seem to sit out further than the Turbo wheels.....

I can't supply a drawing. However, the inherent design of Centerlock wheels makes spacers impossible.
We manufacture Centerlock wheels for the GT3/GT3RS and Turbo in 18, 19 and 20 inch sizes.

PM me for pictures.
