Pretty expensive (cause they're Porsche)..........check H&R or others.....but I would not even go to the trouble of 5mm myself......my eyes are not good enough to notice 3/16 of an inch on a car
Leading evidence: 'exchange rate is killing us right now' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'exchange rate is killing us right now' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it).

Another way around this is with changing the offset on your wheels.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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'm considering buying a set of 5 mm spacers. I saw them at Carnewal.Com for $345.00 (U.S.) for the spacers, bolts and locks. I have two questions, can they be purchased at a discount somewhere? Do they require any "installation", for example, do they get bolted to the hubs or something?

.
Is this for a stock narrowbody?....what wheels?
Performance Products for H&R.
They are hub centric......simply fit bet the wheel and hub.......bolts supplied are just a tad longer to accomodate the space......personally I'd loose the security bolts & go with all standard (unless you fear wheels getting ripped off).
I added that set and DID notice the difference. Actually, it was the perfect spacer size for me. As for going elsewhere other than Porsche (aftermarket brands) I heard WAY TOO many problems of vibration issues, etc.
FYI....Gert DOES sell at a discount at Carnewal. The problem is the exchange rate is killing us right now. I bought mine (5MM set) from Sunset in Oregon. I think I paid about $275.
Agree..........Gert is one of the fairest guys on the planet.
Guess I've been lucky on spacers........but I've only been using them for 20 yrs or so
.
man-of-ice..........some people claim they put them on for added performance & handling.........others use them until the can order good aftermarket wheels (that have an offset more pleasing to
their
eye).
They move the wheel 'out' in the wheel arch....by providing 'space' between the existing wheel and the hub.
