I just got my 17 x 7" 993 wheels. I was told they are a 55 mm back spacing, and I would need 20mm to make them fit
When I measure from the back side its 5 7/8 to rim edge. I measure my 15" deep six wheel its 4 7/8 to rim edge. 20mm is about 1/2" right? It would appear I need 1" spacer. Am I missing something? Once again, what size spacer have others used for this aplication? thanks for your help. |

thanks for your reply Andy.
No flares, rolled fender lips. Right now it has 15 x 6, with 1:95. Thats the way I bought it a month ago. So I am in the initial stages of upgrading appearance. Mechanically its set up fine for me. After wheels & tires bigger brakes. I don't want a bolt on adaptor, I want to get longer studs. Attached image(s)
