Does it need spacers?

Hi guys...

Do you think my car needs spacers? I would like a more aggressive stance yet without having to lower the car because there are serious roadworks going on for the next few months in our area.

What spacers do you recommend and what size?

What's the bolt pattern on the 997 and hub bore size?

Thanks

absolute must haves are Ralph Boothe's chrome lug bolts. He can also hook you up with any size spacers you need. But I have to agree it looks right the way it is. Either stay with spacers 5mm and under or go 10mm and over which should give you the lip for the wheel to be mounted hub centric.

Car looks great as is, and I am usually very anal about the stance.

On a completely unrelated topic, that door to your home is gorgeous!

Beautiful Car....I would leave it the way it is,to me it throws off the car and can vibrate at hi speeds. if you do go that route stick with a 5mm spacer. you also can try a different offset wheel as well. makes the car look like it has a more agressive stance and it eliminates the spacer.

If you do decide to go with spacers, 7mm H&R's are perfect

5mm rear from Porsche accessories through your dealer, if you want to modify it.

Are these spacers hubcentric? Do they bolt onto the hubs or are they just spacers?
