7mm & 14mm Wheel spacers
Hello all,
I just had 7mm & 14mm spacers installed on my 2002 Boxster S. I would like to say for the record they look perfect and they do make my car handle better.
Anyone need speed humps?

I'm using 7mm all the way around and can't tell if they make it handle better, but they fill out the wheel wells better and my aftermarket Carrera light wheels clear the ebrake lines by a hair or two now so I'm happy.
If those are factory humps, you can get a decent amount for them on eBay. Aftermarket ones, not so much.

I have 5mm spacers on mine and just that much of pulling the wheels out from under the fender wells do make an aesthetic difference.

I am also using 5mm all the way around and I noticed a difference in handling right away, enjoy your ride,

Looks good , just be careful on the under/oversteer on the car now. Using two different width spacers on a car will affect the handling. Just don't push it to the max without first getting a feel for the changes. Have fun, Ed

Guys, this post was almost a year ago and the OP hasn't been on the board in 5 months.
