Looking spot on... hopefully you bought same 20mm for front as they can easily use same if not a smidge more than rear...

Good luck :)

I don't have spacers, but I would think with the widest spacers you might get some rock chips on the fenders and their edges. Am I wrong...

20mm on both front and back with no rubbing?

Cunningr 06-06-2018 09:25 AM

I have a set of 15mm on the way. ECS said 15mm bout right.

A8ked 06-06-2018 10:06 AM

Yes, 20mm on both front and rear with no rubbing.

Thanks!

Rubbing? Where? You've got about 10 feet of space there. I'm confused. Rubbing?

A8ked 06-06-2018 10:04 PM

Read again carefully I said no rubbing.

A8ked 06-06-2018 10:38 PM

Lew,
I'll try to get photos from the front and back tomorrow.

A8ked 06-07-2018 06:10 PM

A couple more photos for Lew.
20mm Spacers on 17" Turbo Twist wheels. Hope these are helpful.

Looking Good, Thanks!

Lew 06-07-2018 07:17 PM

Thanks for the pictures. I noticed your deck lid is without the Boxster emblem. Did you remove it? I recently installed the Porsche letters and I really like how it looks now.

A8ked 06-07-2018 08:02 PM

Yes, I removed it.
Mine was black and I felt the trunk looked better without the faded black emblem and I am too cheap to buy a chrome one.

Why spacers? I have the 17 inch turbo twist offset, with no need for spacers..

For looks mostly moves the wheels and tires out gives the car a broader stance.

A8ked 06-07-2018 10:21 PM

As Cunningr said, for looks, they fill out the wheel wells.
They also add a few IHP.

IHP = Imagined Horse Power :)
