WTB: Wheel spacers

Hello,
I'm in the market for wheel spacers. I just purchased a set of Cayman wheels for my 986 with the offsets of 43, rear (9") and 57, front (8"). I'm wanting something in the range of 10mm for my fronts and 3-5mm for the rears. Lugs would be a plus. Let me know what you have. Thanks

I have 14mm and 7mm but no 10mm or 3-5mm.

The fronts are the only ones that have me worried. With an offset of 57 (stock 17" fronts have an offset of 55) + adding the extra 1" width tires makes me wonder about clearance issues (the higher the offset = farther inward toward suspension). My stock rear wheels have an offset of 50 so the 43 offset of the new wheels will be an improvement but I thought adding an extra 3mm couldn't hurt . The main reason I want spacers is purely cosmetic . I'm just wanting to give the car a slightly wider, more aggressive look.
