Spacers...
...I started to wonder if my front wheels could do with some spacers...just to nudge them out a bit. Having investigated, my front wheels are actually 18" X 7.5" (ET 50mm) - so likely to have been taken off a 996 as the standard width for a 993 from factory was 8", and my rear wheels are 18" X 10" (ET 50mm) which are as they should be. I spoke to Gert and Chris at Centre Gravity and the general consensus is not to exceed 5mm spacers without having to change the studs. Some are happy to run 7mm, but apparently not advisable as doesn't leave much on the thread. Anything more than that, then you're looking into changing studs, which means you'll need to remove discs and calipers - obviously a bigger job, which I wasn't keen on doing. So to keep things simple I gave the 5mm spacers a whirl and they worked out pretty well - a small nudge but definitely noticeable!
4x 5mm spacers at 40 euro each = 160 euro
Shipping is 15 euro
Total : 175+21%vat = 211,75 euro
