Yet another wheel Q please

I looked for a beating a dead horse smiley... there isn't one.

I found a set of 996 two piece rims I really like for the 97 Box. I searched the forum and found someone running 21mm spacers to acommodate
rears: 18X10's ET 65 with Pirelli 265 35 ZR 18's
fronts: 18X7.5's ET 50 with Pirelli 225 40 ZR 18's
for the rears. I was hoping for confirmation on this as well as my assumption that spacers are not needed for the fronts.

I believe they are similar to these: http://www.theautobahn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17779

Also, another embarrassing question: how do the spacers work? Do they come loaded with new bolts and I use the supplied nuts for my old lug bolts to hold the spacers on?
TIA

Hi, sorry that i can't help answer your question but I would also like to add to it.

Would a set of 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe stock wheels fit our 986's without spacers or problems?

Would 23mm spacers even work for the 986? My car is also lowered with the Eibachs.

Thanks
