Gazwaz Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) I've lowered my Cayman S with HR springs.. sits lovely now.. but think it needs spacers.. Anyone already done this? These are my wheels.... I'm thinking 8mm front 15mm rear ??? Edited May 30, 2018 by Gazwaz Added photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushman Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I have 10mm hubcentric spacers with 35mm thread bolts (28mm std length of thread) on the front and 20mm hubcentric spacers with 45mm thread bolts on the back. it looks like yours sits lower than mine though, but I've never rubbed an arch. make sure that when you get the required longer bolts, you get radius seat washers and not taper seat washers on the bolts as they look similar in online pics.

Gazwaz Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks @Bushman do you have pics? Are you running same wheels as me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazwaz Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 @Bushman where did you buy them from?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty1 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 My opinion / experience only, car looks good with 7mm front and 15mm rear spacers but I took mine off because I did not like the way it drove as wider rear track also induced understeer on my car, I now have same width spacers all round and am using factory 996 GT3 longer bolts, some of the after market bolts aren't great quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Beanoir™ Posted May 31, 2018 Founder Share Posted May 31, 2018 The tried and tested combo is 7mm up front and none at the rear - anything else ruins the car’s dynamics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazwaz Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thanks for input lads.. I've ordered 7mm and 15mm with longer bolts.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushman Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 cant remember which online shop I got them from, I think the rears came via ebay. I'm running 19 Carrera Classics with 35 profile boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equinox Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I Run 11j rear wheels with 20mm spacers and 8.5j front wheels with 8mm spacers. But it completely depends on your wheels offsets, trye sizes and 'look' you want to go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
