Do you need them? No

5mm is so little why bother? I do not generally like to do things on my car that alter the suspension geometry that the factory spent hundreds if not thousands of engineer hours developing.

I have 5 all around in my 4S. Doesn't affect the bolt threading and fills the arches better. Could I have gone slightly bigger? Sure, a little but I didn't want too much spacer

any pics you can share?

im in exactly same frame of mind - I would like the oem wheels a little more pumped…they sit ‘in’
Can you go for 7mm all around with the oem bolts..anyone know if that works?

5mm is as much as I dare go. With Al lugnuts you want all the thread you can. And don’t forget the optimoly to get torque right. After running 18’s I had to put 5mm spacers on the front for 17’s as
the gap was just too “356” for my aesthetic.

I usually put 5mm in the front and 7mm in the rear when I have the turbo twists on.

I have a set of 4-5mm spacers, used them on the 996TTS wheels I was running before the Tramonts. I do not remember from where they came, maybe…maybe Fister.

I would be interested in passing them on…I’ll see if they have any manufacturer markings on them tomorrow.

Won’t be free, but will be cheap.

I’ll follow up tomorrow

@403portside - Get the spacers. You'll be pleased with the visual improvement.

Pay no attention to to the negative 'suspension geometry' waffle.

Thanks. And any special lugs for the 7mm on the rear?

looks good.

Years back I messaged Opo regarding this very topic, I followed his advice of 7mm rears and 5mm fronts sourced from Ebay for my 96 NB. Ran them for years without issues.

Yes, I ran mine this way because of OPO also! Used oem lugs with no issues. I don't track my car though.
