No help on this topic? Strange indeed....

I was curious last night as I was angry that they didn't go on properly when I tried. I just happen to have a spare set of 17mm 996 spacers so I took them to the garage and they did fit flush on to the Kinesis wheels with some patience and even pressure. I tried the spacers on my stock 17's as well and it seems to be the same fitment although the stock wheels slid on very easily with zero pressure.

Can any confirm that the S model and base model have the same fitment. I don't want to sell something to someone that doesn't work. I am not talking about the offsett.

Thanks
