I'm running 15mm all round on my turbo and they're perfect.

I'm running 7 and 15 on my 996/1 C4 and it sits perfect (IMO) on H&R suspension....

My advice would be check your wheel size and offset before buying anything.

I'm running 20mm all round which I think is perfect but if I was in your position i would be taking my own measurements with a straight edge across the wheel face to the top of the wheel arch to see how much extra poke you want / need

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link
7mm and 15mm seem to be popular but still not clear whether 7mm is on front of back.
Have been looking through multiple threads ans till cant work out (without getting too nerdy) what would work but also look a little better.
Running 18" turbo look twists on 996.1 C4 on factory sports suspension.
7mm and 15mm seem to be popular but still not clear whether 7mm is on front of back.
Guessing being 4wd, equal spacing would be better so thing 10mm all round.
Any views on options or leave alone and spend the £ on something else?
TIA

I've gone for 15mm all around on mine
Can get some pics up if you want
Would obviously prefer to not have any spacers at all and just have a better off set wheel but for now itll have to do
Re: Spacers
Thanks for all the help guys!
Bald guy, that is the "look" I want and seems it works on C4 so will be ordering today!! But just to confirm, is that 7 front and 15 rear?
15mm is fine for the rear. Takes The stock 10" et65 to et50. 20mm would take you to et45, which would also fit.
For the front, you need to check what your wheel sizes are. You could have either a 7.5" et50 or 8" et50/52 (both are stock sizes, and which you have depends on the age of the car). A 7mm is fine on the 8", but you'll need a 15mm if you have 7.5". You can go quite a bit further still on the front.
It all depends what offset your wheels are in the first place. They could be anything depending on make of alloys. They could be non gen ones with a strange offset? My advice would be check your wheel size and offset before buying anything.
What size wheels?
I have the 18" turbo twists from factory as extra so believe 7.5" et50.
Maybe possible to go wider of front spacers according to other posts but want to avoid the "wheel spacer" look which often happens if fronts too wide.
This is mine... H&R -30mm, 10" et65 rears, 15mm spacer, 7.5" et50 fronts, 7mm spacer.... don't have a better shot unfortunately.
I bought 7mm spacers for the front after a recommendation, but regretted it straight away - they are too tucked.
You need a 15mm spacer with a 7.5" front... they won't look silly!
