Went with 20mm up front and 15mm in the rear. Here are links to the set I bought (one with silver lugs and one with black). I just noticed they also have stud conversion kits! I would have gotten those if I had noticed.

Looking great, toying on wether to get set wheel spacers at the moment. Have you had any rubbing issues on arches?
Where did you purchase the wheel center cover?
Thanks.
Hi Aaron since installing your wheel spacers, do your front wheel tires hit the inner linings of the fenders when making tight turns?
Where did u purchase these? Brand? Thx
Where did you find those center caps?
Spacers look good – much needed. But the lug bolts they shipped you are conical seat bolts – used for aftermarket wheels. Stock Porsche wheels use R-14 ball seat lug nuts. You are going to want to change those asap or risk damaging your wheels and having your lug bolts back out…
Hi Aaron, in what way did you determine the thickness of the front and rear spacers? The top part of each tire aligning with its respective fender, or just what looks good? In one of your comments you state that the handling/steering characteristics improved after installing the spacers. Sounds good.
Hi Aaron. This one has inspired me to do the same on my 986. I ordered them only yesterday so they should be here soon. I went for 20mm rear and 16mm front. Your car looks so much better for them, I’m hoping for the same result. Love your channel, keep them coming.
I noticed that you're tail lights look like a 981. Can you put a link to your source?
What size wheels are you running?
I want these for my 986! Why did you choose to go with the thicker ones in the front? Better fitment?
wow what a nice difference
Some spacers are bolted to the main hub, then lugs are bolted to the spacers. You chose a direct hub (through spacer) approach. Is there any advantage, or am I misunderstanding what I have seen?
Do you have a Link to those wheel centercaps?

Hi, I have the same spacers. 20mm in the back & 15mm upfront. The only challenge is that those bolts they give you are not the same quality as the OEM. I’ve noticed I need to re-torque them once every 2 thousand kilometres or so maybe a little bit more. I now torque them to 100lbs, not 96, and all is good now. No rubbing, looking great and slightly better driving and handling.
