I have heard that, old porsche brake discs can be used as spacers get a local workshop to cut off the disc/hub and the face plate can be used a spacer.
Leading evidence: 'Use spacer' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check clearance' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

most people fit 7mm+15mm, just measure from the tyre edge to the inside of your arch to check clearance

thinking about getting spacers fitted to my car to fill the arches so to speak, i have std GT3 alloys with std fit tyres, and general consensous is 7mm on front and 15mm on rears with extended bolts to match, anyone tryed this, any pics before and after, and where to buy, is flea bay the best price found 7mms for 59.99 and 15mm for 68.99 both with extended bolts to match.
Run 285/30/18s and 15mm spacers (net et 50, standard et65)

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.

I have heard that, old porsche brake discs can be used as spacers get a local workshop to cut off the disc/hub and the face plate can be used a spacer. Haven't tried it myself but have heard of an indy who has done this successfully. Seems a useful way to recycle a lump of metal that would other wise go in the bin, assuming it works
thats a good price :thumb:
Doubt you will find cheaper, usually 7mm shims are £30 then £6 per extended bolt and the 15mm hubcentrics with bolts are £100+
most people fit 7mm+15mm, just measure from the tyre edge to the inside of your arch to check clearance
What year is your car and what size wheels/tyres you running?
I just happen to have a picture that might help, this was taken with:
8" fronts running 225/40/18s and 5mm spacers (Net ET 47, Standard ET 52)
10" rears running 285/30/18s and 15mm spacers (Net ET 50, Standard ET65)
The 5mm spacers are factory but I bought the bolts and rear spacers from design911.
The fronts could come out a little more but not a huge amount.
:thumb:
Thanks, visually it makes a big difference and with a wider track the stability is better too.
Only did a visual against OEM, I never actually measured them, but as I understand it standard bolts then there are the +7mm extended bolts that will go with 5-7mm spacers (typical front fitment) and there are +18mm extra long to accomodate 15-18mm spacers (typical rear fitment)
My new wheels with different offsets are coming soon and I'll have to work it all out again!
