I got a pair of 7mm and put them on the left side of the car so I could decide if I need more. Everyone I show them to says they didn't notice...that actually is the response I'm looking for. Instead of getting spacers that make the wheels obviously wider I got the spacers so I don't notice the overhang fender look. You see whenever I look at my Box I notice how my rims look too far under the fender after putting these on the left side the car it just looks right...my eyes don't immediately go to the overhanging fender. I actually might be able to go so 15mm on the front and still have a flush look, but I don't want to take a chance of the wheel looking too wide. I'm going to order the other set of 7mm and put them on all for wheels...to each his own, I don't think you can go wrong with 15mm either. Between the new rims, spacers, and smoked rear tail lights she's looking nice.
Note when I went from my 17 inch Boxster 'S' rims to the 18 inch Boxster 2006 rims I gained about 13mm front and back outwards, with the extra 7mm I'm now 19mm front and 20mm back.
