Looking spot on... hopefully you bought same 20mm for front as they can easily use same if not a smidge more than rear...

Good luck

I don't have spacers, but I would think with the widest spacers you might get some rock chips on the fenders and their edges. Am I wrong...

Would you post a picture from the back and the front of your car?

Thanks!

Rubbing? Where? You've got about 10 feet of space there. I'm confused. Rubbing?

Thanks for the pictures. I noticed your deck lid is without the Boxster emblem. Did you remove it? I recently installed the Porsche letters and I really like how it looks now.

Yes, I removed it.
Mine was black and I felt the trunk looked better without the faded black emblem and I am too cheap to buy a chrome one.

Why spacers? I have the 17 inch turbo twist offset, with no need for spacers..

For looks mostly moves the wheels and tires out gives the car a broader stance.

As Cunningr said, for looks, they fill out the wheel wells.
They also add a few IHP.

IHP = Imagined Horse Power
