Yeah TPI were the guys I was also trying to remember the name of but failing ... I knew someone else would be along soon with the answer!
 
Thats even better as you can go there and try every option until your happy :thumb: :thumb:
 
Hey Phil,

I am looking for black spacers, purley so they match the rear of the turbo wheel which are coloured black, so in theroy a nice seemless joint to the grey hubs on the disc's.

There are loads of spacers out there but it just getting the write ones, based on what peeps are talking about then will go with 7mm front and 15mm rear, my biggest conerns is MoT. Yeap take them off before you go but are these or are these a possible MoT failure - I suppose it depends how far they potrude out really...

Again the front's, the TPI's dont have shims on so it relies on the OEM hub to support. I havent measure the depth but this would be a concern for sure.

Any thoughts fella :?:
 
Hi John , I have never had an MOT issue with spacers fitted, the key is keeping it flush with the lip of the arch I am confident on a widebody car you will have not issues with 15mm rears , I agree with your thoughts on the front hub and its very hard to find a black 7mm spacer with spigots most are just a shim in which case I think you would be happier fitting a black 5mm shim on the fronts
5mm is fine and is the size Porsche actually sell and recommend at vast cost lol
hope that helps mate ,if you need any more info let me know :thumb:

Yes mate due to the offsets being different on a wide and narrow body and the NB running 295 over the WB 305 tyres the 15mm will also be fine on a NB car :thumb:

Ace ta!
 
Link for spacers I bought, hubcentric type and available silver or black anodised, I have been really pleased with mine, and after much research these are top quality at a fraction of the price some others charge.
