Suggestion · Original poster
Is bolt length going to be an issue when using 6mm or 5mm spacers ?

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 did the 7/15 F/R on a previous 99 and it worked fine.
I did the 7/15 F/R on a previous 99 and it worked fine. (use the longer bolts!) With an aftermarket wheel and and less positive offset you might have an issue.
Yes you can go as high as 15mm rear, but I didn't want anything that drastic.
Dell, did you get longer bolts with your 5mm set? I only have longer bolts for my 25mm rear spacers for my winter tires.

Like Dell, I also have the 5mm spacers AND the longer bolts (it all comes together in the OEM package). I would say it is imminently noticeably while still remaining subtle. It just fills out the wheel wells a 'touch' better without looking obnoxious. One of the problems with the rear 17mm offset is that the wheel just looks too far out from the car and reminds me too much of a Ricer look. The lines of the 911 are too spectacular to have a wheel sticking out and ruining it.
I went with 17mmR/5mmF
Works perfect ! Car looks so much nicer now.
No difference in handling (from a daily driver point of view).
I posted a write-up last week of my install + some nice pictures. Perform a search under my name.
Hey LV, I only need a tiny 3mm up front because my rim is slightly rubbing up against the collar of my bilstein PSS9's. So do you think I can get the 3mm and not have to get the extended bolts?
so besides the 5MM which would be the better looking? and does any body have pic's from before and after??
How is is possible that I find new mod's everyday???
Golly....just my opin guys but I sure wouldn't waste my time with 3-5mm .....what's 3mm, something like less than 1/8".....my eyes aren't good enough to see that.....congrats if you can.
Here's the equivalant of 15mm rear, 9mm front (on 18" 8J, 10J).....ie 43 and 50mm offset on these HRE's (on a lowered narrow body).
Sorry to say Gregg, but it just looks like your rear wheels stick out a bit too much and obsure the curve of the wheel wheel around the tire. To my eye, the wheels are not supposed to be flush with the fender in terms of design, but just inside. Gives it that classic look.
I will add that your wheels look terrific though from what I can see.
