WTB: Spacers + wheel bolts (let me know what sizes you have)

[CrisZenithBlue]

Looking to get some spacers for my friend's 1999 Base Boxster with 17" Turbo Twist. I'm thinking 15mm on the rear and something smaller on the front like i have on mine but let me know what you have.

Ideally they would come with the right size bolts but can also get those separately.

Thanks,

Cristian

You may be better off using 90m mm studs

it all depends on the size of the spacer i guess. 90mm sounds pretty long. i bought mine from ECS a few years ago and on their site, for the 15mm spacers i have in the rear the bolt was 60mm (full shaft lenght, only 45mm threaded portion)

90mm total length

I was running with 15 & 20 mm spacers, and you want to be sure there is at least 2 threads visible past the lug nut

Also remember that many studs have an unthreaded section at the end

Better to be long than short

Gotcha!
How did it look with 15 front 20 rear? Was it beyond being flush with the fenders?

I just this past week installed a set of Dyno wheels refinished (they are the same size/offset as Turbo Twists) with new tires 205/50/17 front and 255/40/17 rear.

I went with 15mm spacers and new lug bolts front and rear. Absolutely no issues with extending past the fender well. No rubbing or any fitment issues. After installing 15mm on all 4 corners, I'm going back to put 20mm on the rear. There's plenty of room.

I think you'll like the wider look. It fills the fenders out much better and still retains a stock look.

The pics aren't good. I just pulled the car out of the tire bay and it's not settled from being on the lift, but hopefully you can get the idea/
