My plan is that I'm going to run these new wheels as my everyday wheels and then put slicks on the ones I currently have for SCCA and DE events.

After you get the wheels, mount a f & r tire, test fit to the car and check clearances, see where and what size spacers if any will be needed.

So, I got dragged to Roswell, Georgia by my fiancee for a wedding. As fate would have it, in the week prior I saw some wheels on eBay in that area. I went ahead and pulled the trigger and found the seller to be less than 4 miles from our hotel.

These wheels have offset of 57 and 58. My stock ones have 50 and 65. So I am going to add a 7mm spacer in the front and just have the back be 7 mm wider. Is the the right thing to do?
My plan is that I'm going to run these new wheels as my everyday wheels and then put slicks on the ones I currently have for SCCA and DE events.
Does this sound like a decent plan? What is my best option for getting racing tires and not spending a fortune? What do y'all use for the track?
And why do two of the center caps say Roock Sportsystems?
you will need longer bolts too...
I got my 7mm from here (free, Thanks Ferd!) and my bolts off ebay though it took a while to find some......at current I have them out.... not sure I will be putting them back in eigher, let me think on it a while and see if I can score on a set of 15's (missed a set this week on CL)
After you get the wheels, mount a f & r tire, test fit to the car and check clearances, see where and what size spacers if any will be needed.
If you are a seasoned racer and the car is set up suspension wise for slicks, have fun.
If not, you'll go faster and become a better driver with DOT tires.
Good Luck
I got my spacers from Ralph Boothe when I needed some years ago. He's a good guy and has been in business for many years offering accessories for Porsche. However, I'm not sure if he still runs and owns the company nowadays. Check it out:

Was this actually as fate would have it you found the tires there.....???? I think possibly you did your searching in that area like a drowning man clutching for salvation
Congratulations on getting married. May I suggest a nice restaurant near a Porsche dealership for your first anniversary dinner out?
