definitely just what the car needed. im lowered in eibachs with kyb gr-2 g35/37 sedan 17's with 235/55/17 tires

Nice, looks much better.

 

Thats a huge effing spacer. No vibration?

 

why would there be vibrations? size has nothing to do with causing vibrations?

 

This.

 

I have 25 and 20mm spacers. No vibration either.

How better is the handling man? you test it out yet? a 2" wider stance really improves the center of mass on this car. I am very happy with my spacers too.

 

I didnt say it had to do with size. I said its a huge spacer and then asked if you had vibrations. It is fairly common for spacers to cause vibration no matter the brand. Just makes more sense to me to get aftermarket wheels with the right offset instead of having to add a 25mm spacer. I was nervous getting a 15mm spacer.

 

Maybe if you used huge extended studs but these aren't that type. Porsche has been using wheel spacers shown in the OP's pics for a long time to push the rear wheels out on their wide-body models, and they've had many, many miles of Porsche's tough road testing and track time.

 

Nice.....:d

 

I tried 7mm spacers on my 18X9 rims with 245/25R18 tires and they rubbed like crazy, took it off and still got a bit of rub. It rubs more than my 22's. Looks good though but it's not really showing that much because it's stock wheels.

 

no issues at all. i havent had much of a chance to test out any better handling bc of rain and all my favorite turns ive had traffic in front of me. think its time for sway bar links and progress.

i really just dont want aftermarket wheels bc of certain perceptions by others and myself. i want and like a stock but sporty look for the car. overall clean but yet effective and efficent. i had g37s 19's but feel the size was slowing down the car and gas milage plus tire prices. i think this is a great balance overall

 

and if you didnt notice i removed the front mudflaps feel like its a more even flow with the car its eye catching but not too over the top

 

This is true but Porsche also has control over quality control with the batches they take delivery on. I was nervous getting these 15mm spacers I have on my rear because the studs were attached. I had never heard of this and always thought it was best to put in high quality ARP studs yourself. Apparently its common now for the spacers to have studs already attached but I worry about the tensile strength of them because a good set of ARP studs cost more than they sell 2 spacers for. I really want to get in there and have ARP studs machined into the existing spacer I have. If you guys trust spacers and the studs they use then that is fine I am just voicing my concerns. Next to your tires, your life is literally riding on them

 

Not really bro.. in all likelihood the most that is going to happen is your going to put a flat part into your rotors. haven't you seen cops? you know a car can ride flat on 3 wheels. Its not like your wheel is going to fall off and your going to dive into a black hole. you would treat a lost wheel like a blow out. i was in a car (grand national) after leaving a tire shop my friends right front wheel sheered through the bolts, it wobbled off on a freeway onramp. He was doing 50 in a curve. the car made a large crash sound and dropped, the car wobbled back a forth a little until my buddy corrected it, and we kept driving around the corner to a safe spot and he braked. The most significant thing i remember about the whole thing was him yelling, "WTF!!!" Unless two spacers fail at the same time your going to be fine. your wallet might not. Given you could be doing 100 around a canyon cliff, but then if you were doing that in a car that needs spacers like the max your an idiot to begin with.

 

and just so you don't scare anyone away from using spacers, I am pretty sure that it is NOT that common for spacers to cause vibrations.

It's only common when they are not hubcentric, and/or installed improperly.

 

agreed. Hubcentric spacers won't allow for misalignment. which is the only thing a spacer could do to make something vibrate. the only stories of wheel vibration you hear are people using the cheapo spacers that do not come with that hub ring. That or people have a different issue unrelated to the spacers. like a bent rim or loose steering rack, warped rotors ect..

 

Get the H&R spacers and there's no need to worry. As I've said, Porsche has many many many miles and years of R&D on their street cars and race cars running bolted spacers. The wheel will break before a spacer will.
