For a 5 lug, is there any specific size for a wheel spacer, other than maybe the depth?
I may be looking at some spacers for the front, to bump out the tire. |

Porsche specific will have the inner ring lip sized to match the Porsche wheels. 71.6mm iirc. And the outer diameter will match the hub diameter so it looks flush.
1/4" will fit stock lugs. 1/2"+ will need longer studs and 1"-2" will technically be adapters with their own nuts and studs. Lastly, check fender clearance with the wheel turned and consider hitting a bump /lean. |

Also you will need to buy longer studs.

Plenty of OEM wheel spacers available from junk yards or ebay.

QUOTE(mskala @ Oct 29 2014, 07:57 AM)  Also you will need to buy longer studs. I have 1" spacers up front on my car and went to 80mm studs on the rotor. I have about 3/4" space between the tire and the fender now.  |

I have about 3/4" space between the tire and the fender now. I am curious here, I want to put on flares, and currently am running 195/60/15. Can I put on flares and run spacers to fill out the space or is that a bad idea. I would love some input and help. budget tight as I am having my engine rebuilt by fat performance. I am vinyl wrapping the car and want to put the flares on before I wrap it. No budget left for new rims and rubber. Thoughts? Thanks |

'No budget" isn't going to get much done.
These 5 lug conversions and body modifications are getting more and more expensive by the day. |

What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region  |

FWIW, I originally ran 1" spacers with my 16x6 Fuchs with stock fenders. It was tight but it fit and the stance was perfect IMHO. |
