Off topic but can you explain the wheel spacers? I've read people using them but not up to speed as to why you want/need them. I am considering your same wheels.

I don't think bumps like speedbumps will have too much of a negative impact because you know they are coming and you will go slower over them. It will make me more alert to watch out for that stuff. The thing that's causing me the most concern right now is pulling into the same parking spaces I've always used and in the pre-H&R spring days, my front bumper would go up over the sidewalks or curbing in front, now it will hit so I have to park a little bit further back then I'm used to.
The wheel spacers can be both used aesthetically and necessary depending on the wheel you run. Aesthetically, they will push your wheels further out from the car and I think that looks better as it gives the appearance of filling up the wheel wells better. By necessary, my aftermarket Carrera lightweights have a different offset than stock Boxster wheels, so in order to get them pushed out far enough that the wheel doesn't hit a strut or anything else, I had to use spacers. 18 mm spacers would have done the trick, but I opted for the 21 mm to give it a wider appearance.
Take care,
Mike
