Spacers for 18" Twists (Don't kill me)
 
I searched but I could not find the info. I recently lowered the car with H&R springs. I am fine with the height and ride, but the wheels look very sucked in now (stoick 18" twists). Does anyone have experience with this? I would like to add some spacers. Nothing too extreme. Just want to improve the look for the street. I have stock size tires. Recommendations?

10 to 15mm spacers could work nicely. Use one of the online tiresize sites to verify the fit by changing the wheel offset.

I run 20 mm in the front and 15 mm in the back with stock 18's with no problems

Where did you get the spacers, and the longer bolts?

I run 12mm front and rear. I got the spacer on Ebay and used wheel studs/nut instead of longer bolt. Got them from Motorsports Hardware.

I run the 18x8s up front with a 15mm spacer and the 18x11s out back with a 13mm

I run H&R spacers. Good quality: Porsche Boxster (1997-2004) - Axles, Bearings & Differential - Page 4 Extended bolts are on the next page.

I got the spacers and 95mm studs and lug nuts on ebay

I track the car, so I am changing wheels a lot and studs make it much easier

Jay, I'm interested in changing over to studs and lug nuts. I have an ET50 on the front with a 10mm spacer and an ET40 on the back with no spacer. What do you suggest?
