Teach me something about spacers Options

[PanelBilly]

I’m running 8” wheels on the front and back and there’s still a good size space between the flairs and the tire. It doesn’t look bad but could look better. What’s the right way to use spacers or are they a bad idea in general?

Thread engagement is key, you’ll need longer studs most likely. The 930 came from the factory with front and rear spacers, the rear was 28mm (just over an inch), I’ve seen people use over 2” spacers on widebody 911s before, most vintage racing sanctioning bodies don’t allow more than 1 inch. Depending on your hub, it should be hub centric, the studs should pass though rather than having a separate set of offset lugs. Porsche offered a number of spacers over the years, find some used, mount them and don’t look back.
