The Porsche 996 wheel spacers are car accessories that add more inner wheel clearance. Whether you upgrade to wider tires or bigger performance brakes, keeping the backspacing correct will avoid most rubbing issues. By increasing the track width, the contact points of tires are expanded, which results in more stability and smoothness.
A sports car with perfect handling gives satisfaction to the driver and makes the drive safe and enjoyable. For most enthusiasts, these Porsche 996 wheel spacers are the easiest and most cost-effective way to get a more aggressive stance. With so many options available, what sizes Porsche wheel spacers are best? In this post, we will explore the safe sizes and top brands.
Best Porsche 996 Wheel Spacers Size Chart
Thickness:
- 3mm to 7mm: Provides proper space to fit a big brake kit while keeping OEM-like style.
- 10mm to 20mm: Provides a perfect flush stance while improving the ride quality.
- 25mm to 35mm: Provides a wider track to enhance stability and rollover resistance.
- 40mm to 50mm: Provides more clearance to fit a wide-body kit without rubbing issues.
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
The Porsche 996 wheel spacer options are limited since wheel fitment requires the wheel bolt pattern to match the vehicle hub. Specific wheel spacers for specific wheel hub. The bolt pattern (PCD) and center bore (CB) of a Porsche 911 (VII 996) are: PCD=5x130mm, CB=71.6mm.
Correct Offset:
Wheel spacers reduce the offset. For example, if the Porsche 996 stock wheel offset is +57mm, then a 12mm spacer will make the final offset +45mm. The wheels and tires will sit out 12mm from the hub assembly, providing a wider wheel stance.
