Wheel spacers

[FUHRIUS]

I bought the car like this last fall...stock wheel size 7.5/9" 53/50mm offsets) with TechArt spacers, 15mm front and 21mm rear.
I'm not going to get into this religious battle about stock setup being perfect vs. modded cars and effects of wheel bearings/ handling, etc.
I can say that I think the car looks great...it's a really noticeable difference in the appearance of the car. My car is also lowered approx 1 inch from stock s (so it's basically the same as if you'd ordered the 030 option (or whatever it is called). It also handles really nice...they all do. But I'd driven maybe 6 or 7 different used s's before I bought this one and I think the handling is improved with the drop / width. The anniv car came stock with 5mm spacers and the 987 is considerably wider, so I'm not sure that spacing out a 986 is all that bad...I suspect it will put extra stress on the wheel bearings.
I'm actually swithing out this setup next week for a set of kinesis k58's in the same color scheme (black centers, polished lip)...they're 8.5" front and 10 rear, with 996 offsets, so I'll end up using the 21mm spacers in the rear with no spacers in the front. Hope this helps.
