DJ where did you get the extended lug bolts + spacers from? I can find plenty of 7mm spacers but not any 5/16"s(8mm) spacers......

I'm thinking of the same wheels sans black. Do you think that with 5/16"s spacer I'd have enough clearance for the larger S calipers?

Do you have any shots showing how much the rear tires stick out relative to the OEM ones w/o spacers?

hey, i actually got the wheel spacers form AutoZone, they were only $9.
the lug bolts have little spacers on them as well, so i took those out, and gave them to my dads friend to take to his machine shop, and he took out 5/16ths off of them, reainstalled them, and now they are as long as the stock ones length wise.
here is a picture of them, i had spares so these ar the ones, pretty rusted.

as for the caliper size, i am really not sure.
here is a thread where a guy bought the same wheels, but he has a S, maybe you can just PM him and see how it works out for him.

i think these shots can explain the sticking out part

so not that bad at all, i actually dont like wheels sticking out more than they need to.
hope that helps man, if not ask some more

DJ,

Good stuff,that's exactly what I was looking for. Now to find out if those things will hit my calipers,just waiting for a response from the dude from Renntech. I'm hoping it will work cause those wheels are designed to fit on a 996,which has the same calipers.......so I'm thinking it should work. :confused:

djomlas 11-10-2007 11:22 PM

yeah i think they should fit.
