Just looking for a slightly wider stance and fill the wheel wells more.

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.

Anyone here running spacers on a stock 02 C4S? Looking for recommendations and pictures if possible. Rears only? Staggered sizes front and back etc. I've read a lot of threads here and the suggestions are all over the place. Seems like it comes down to personal preference unless you have a specific need which I do not. Just looking for a slightly wider stance and fill the wheel wells more. Don't want a south of the border look.
15mm rear and 5-7 mm front should do the job on stock wheels. I don't use them but agree the wheels could be pushed out further. Buy hub centric spacers only... from H&R, FVD or Porsche.
My car had spacers on the rear when I bought it. I think because the wheels are NB offset even though they are 11" wide. Honestly I haven't even measured the thickness of the spacer. I can measure it and take more pics if you want them but I'm not sure if this is the application you were interestsed in (fixing offset for NB wheels)
Sorry it isn't the best pic but this is the only one I have right now.
Here is a decent pic that shows how the corrected offset looks.
Thanks all, the rear shot is with the spacers I assume? Looks good, no need for more pictures but would be interested in the spacer thickness.
Hardback- Thanks for the input, 15 and 7 was what my own narrowing down came too. Would be interested in seeing someones car with that set up.
Thanks, Tom
I installed 15mm spacers (front & rear) just 2 weeks ago on my '03 C4S. Gave it a nice look/stance, especially on the widebody. Wheels are flush with the fenders, now.
Spacers, just for looks, not offset correction, can actually degrade suspension firmness because of the added leverage. I have 15F and 5R. bit softer for DD. I take them off for DEs.
