well i got my 911 front suspension all installed and drilled rear hubs, but the wheels im using-i guess- are leaving me w/ some problems. I got a set of adapters and spacers from a friend of mine that WOULD work but im having troubles w/ them fitting. The front adapter/spacer is an inch and a half wide but the center is made to go onto the rear axel. It is a quality part from a 911 and is heavy dooty, but if i machine the center out to fit over the front hub center, will it be too weak? Does anyone have a spacer this wide for the front?
the rear spacers are just too wide, either i need longer studs-which i cant seem to find anywhere local, or i need smaller spacers. The spacing on the rear wheel isnt bad but could come out like 1/4 to 1/2" w/o a problem but these are 3/4" and just arent working. Im thinking 1/4" would work fine since my rotors are not on right now either. I need to get some five lug rotors or drill mine soon to check fitment.... Attached image(s) |

Porsche changed the diameter for the hub sometime around 87 I beleive so later wheels and spacers don't work without machining the center. I don't recall exactly how much but it is just a c-hair. I actually can pull the rears (17" C2 turbo) down on my 944 but the fronts definitly have to be cut out.Good machinists can do it and it will be fine.
