I searched a bit online and on here, and I cant really find a clear answer to this. I'd like to get a set of factory 18x8 and 18x10 hollow spoke turbo wheels for my 02 S. I am told that the 993 turbo wheels fit perfectly without spacers, while 996 wheels require a rear spacer. I am very against the use of spacers (mostly for convenience as I change wheels/ tires frequently and lug bolts are a PITA enough by themselves without gettingi spacers involved in the equation).

986 cars ideally want about 55ET front and 50ET rear, yes?

Any input from those who know would be greatly appreciated.
