Spacer question
When looking at my 2000 986 I noticed my least favorite angle of the car is standing at the front, looking at the side but at an angle. I then walked around looking at different views, back straight side, front, side view from rear of the car. All great. After trying to figure out the angle I didn't like, I realized the wheels are in the wheel wells to deep. The back looks great. The car is an S with the 17" twists. Do people ever put spacers just in the front and if so, what size spacers would be used so they don't protrude more the rears. No spacers in the rears. 1st one I like, 2nd not so much.

If it matters, car has bilstein HD's and h&r springs all around.

I’ve got 15mm spacers for all 4 corners coming shortly, along with a wheel stud conversion to compensate for the depth of the spacers.
I’ll post up some pics in a couple of weeks once they get home and I’ve got everything installed. |
I’d go 10 to 15 all around.

Here's what 15s all around looks like.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1523245233.jpg

Thanks everyone. I love that car JB. Almost got red, seller backed out.. BoxsterSteve, what spacers did you get?
|
I feel the same way, the view from the front is spoiled by the front track being too narrow. I put 15 mm spacers on the front and thought it made a large difference in how it looks (for the better). It also has slightly more steering feel now. I like it so much, I've got rear 20 mm spacers on the way from ECS Tuning.

I've got ECS Tuning 15mm front and 25mm rear. Fills out the wheel wells perfectly.

Curious if you add spacers do you need to have the car alligned again?

Not overly pricey. Couldn’t find the exact ones I bought. |
I just put 15mm all around a few weeks back and I’m in love with the new look! No longer looks wimpy.. handles better too. Go for it!
|
Put front and rear, the rear needs to come out more as well. You won’t regret it
|
Now is this a case of you get what you pay for? The prices are all over the place. I just don't want to buy cheap ones and have the bolts shear off. Anyone have a brand recommendation? Thanks again guys.

H&R spacers are another brand I’ve used on other cars in the past that are regarded well. In my understanding the key is that they are hubcentric. |

Does 260 sound right for 4 15mm spacers and lugs?
Any before and after pictures? |
I paid $130 for two 15 mm spacers with lugs from ECS, so that does sound right.
