Thank you for the info, the rims are in transit, So I do not have them yet. One f you says "you will need a spacer", one says you will not. How do I know if I need them or not, and if so where do I get them, also can I have the part # for the clips please.

The part number for the clips is 999.651.230.02. Your can pick them up from your local dealer. I don’t remember however if they have them in stock or if they are special orders. They are $.79 or so depending on the dealer.
In regards to the spacers being needed, it really depends on the wheel offsets. In most cases they are not needed and the wheels can just be bolted on. In other cases a slight adjustment to the camber of the rear wheels can achieve the needed clearance. EVERYTHING depends on the offset of the wheels. Push come to shove you can always use spacers
What kind of wheels are they? Also what wheels did u have on before? Stock 17s?

Okay, got the wheels, seems there is a small clearance issue, barely touches the shock. How do you go about adjusting the camber? Is this something I can do? I have order 10mm spacers from Porsche but if I can fix it without them I am up for saving 300+ dollars. Yalls input is much appreciated.

$300?!?!?! for spacers? I honestly dont know much about spacers nor their pricing but that seems a bit much... An alignment shop would be able to take care of the camber for you.

Might want to ask some of the other guys on the forum for info on spacers i dont think its necesarry to go with the porsche spacers. Any set of 5mm spacers should do the job...If possible post a picture of the set you are getting. What makes them different then anyother set of spacers?

Okay, got a the wheels to fit, it took a 10mm spacer for each wheel. They look great and run great, here is the new issue, at 70mph there is a bad vibration that I have never had. Anyone know why this would happen and how to fix it?
