Just wondering whether anyone has had these fitted and whether is makes a noticeable difference to a 991 c2s ?
 
Reviving an old thread here as I am looking for information and more projects to tackle! I'm looking at wheel spacers and want to go the more subtle 5mm route. I don't really like the look of bigger spacers as I think it makes the car look like it needs to be lowered.

What's the best route to go for 5mm spacers? I can't seem to fine the OE items online.
 
I had OE 5 mm spacers on my 997.1 thats all I needed as I was running widebody offset alloys on it. the only difference with the OE is they come with a small screw that locks them in place which the aftermarket dont. but as the aftermarket work fine anyway its a lot of extra cash to pay for that little benefit. :thumb: :thumb:

Awesome, thanks Tony. Do you know if I need longer studs for the 5mm version?

This is a little debatable, you should be perfectly fine with 5mm spacers and standard bolts. Mine fitted no problem.
However, I did buy a set of OEM 5mm longer black bolts in the end, mostly for peace of mind :oops:
