I have tried 2 different sets of spacers on the front and suffered on both occasions with vibration through steering wheel. I have now given up and only run spacers on the rear which seem fine.

Would you mind sharing what size spacers you used in the front?
I was told to not exceed 5mm in the front due to that fact.

Thx!

No issues here either.

I have H&R springs, 6mm spacers (front) and 15mm spacers (rear) with 19 inch Carrera Sport wheels. No rubbing either.

OEM strength & quality, 8.5 inch wide wheels and 10 inch wide wheels, an awesome flush to the fender look and none of the weight, fender rolling and wheel bending issues of going to 20 inchers.

gforce, great minds think alike!

I don't know why Porsche recommends against the use of their 5mm spacers with the Carrera Sport wheels. Anybody???

I was first a little hesitant to put on the 5mm & 15mm on the CSW, but when the car came done from the lift and touched ground I knew this would be perfect.
I think Porsche can not recommend it because they would probably not fit chains any longer… but who knows.
