Help with spacers for a 993 NB with Fuchs

[moo75x]

Hi - so i have a set of 18 fuchs on a 993 NB - according to the otto fuchs website they are 18x8 52 fronts and 18x10 65 rears but they just look a little deep in the arch...............what spacers could i use to fill them out a little and would I then need longer bolts too? I am thinking 5mm fronts and 10mm rears - would they work? Has anyone knowledge to assist me please?

Thanks

You can go 7mm on the standard studs, 10mm would require removal of the old ones and new ones installed 10mm longer, a PITA on the rears with the handbrake!

Thanks Peter - would 7mm make a bit of difference then?

 

[PeterHoward]

Well, about 7mm difference.....................

hahahahaha you dont say................but what I mean is, is that actually noticeable or pointless?

I put 7mm on the front of my 993 and I was happy with the subtle change, I also put 15mm adaptors on the rear which look great but I did have the arches rolled as my car is lowered 30mm it did foul over bumps.

thanks - i have mine on the sport springs so would reckon rolling the arches may be needed if i went to 15mm - think I will try a 3mm front and 7mm rear to play it safe then........maybe
