I just installed a pair of spacers on the front from ECS, and they fit the bill perfectly.

Suggestion · Original poster
Any issues with road rash from using the larger spacers upfront?

This is somewhat of a big deal as it can make putting on wheels a bit painful and you almost have to use the wheel pin so the spacer and wheels align with the holes in the hub.
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.

Looking to add 15 mm spacers to my cab after H&R spring install. I ran across these spacers on Amazon. The price is certainly right. Not sure about the quality. Anyone have experience with these?

Cheap, but cheap spacers can lead to vibration. I used Otis in LA spacers and was very happy, I believe they were a little less than H&R. Great service too.
Try it out and let us know
If you find problems with them let us know
You can return them and try the porsche spacers from suncoastporsche - the prices were only $20 or $30 more expensive than some of the aftermarket alternatives from them and they came with the proper lugs with the rotating collars and the proper amount of lip for mounting and were perfectly hubcentric
I see 2 things not so great about those.
- Multi-hole so not Porsche specific(not a big deal)
- Does not have rotor retaining screw. This is somewhat of a big deal as it can make putting on wheels a bit painful and you almost have to use the wheel pin so the spacer and wheels align with the holes in the hub.
Another possible negative is it doesn't mention whether the lug bolts are painted/powder coated/ or anodized. I wouldn't want my black lug bolts peeling after some use.
I'd rather pay a bit more and get something like ECS Tuning's Spacer set. They come anodized with ss spacer retaining screw and are specifically made for the Porsche.
+1 on that ^^
I just installed a pair of spacers on the front from ECS, and they fit the bill perfectly. Under $100 for a set too which isn't bad. This is not an area you want to be bargain shopping and compromise quality, IMHO.
Great observations Alpine. Another concern is they do not cover the entire diameter of the hub. I should probably pass on these.

not at all.
But factory 8" wheels for the 996 are 50mm, so a 12mm spacer is equivalent to a 5mm on a factory 996 spacing. So it's not as aggressive as you could go for sure. But looks pretty good to me. 57mm sits the wheel too far in - it doesn't cause any problems, but doesn't look right. This looks right, pretty close to a factory fitment appearance.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
