The Porsche 997 wheel spacers increase the clearance between the wheel and the brake rotor. For those who plan on adding bigger brake calipers, wheel spacers will be a very useful solution. By increasing the track width, wheel spacers can improve stability, especially when cornering. Installing automotive spacers is the quickest and easiest way to driving experience.
Besides, a wider stance gives your car a more aggressive and sporty appearance. This aesthetic appeal is often a primary reason enthusiasts opt for Porsche 997 wheel spacers. Because the unique look of the wheels being flush with the fenders is attractive. In this post, we will list 5 pro tips to install Porsche 997 wheel spacers safely.
Pro Tips to Install Porsche 997 Wheel Spacers Safely
There are several critical tips that may help you get proper installation:
Clean the Wheel Hub:
Spray degreaser on the wheel hub, and use a brush to clean as much as the rust. Then wipe it down with the emery cloth. Make sure the contact surfaces are smooth. Any rust that exists will cause the spacer to be installed not completely parallel to the hub.
Test the Spacers:
Test if the wheel spacer fits your vehicle hub. Ensure that the spacer is firmly seated and flush against the hub.
Proper Torque Porsche 997 Wheel Spacers:
Use a torque wrench to tighten up the wheel bolts to the stipulated torque. The REFERENCE torque spec of the Porsche 997 wheel spacers is 103.5 ft-lb (140 Nm). Always tighten them in a criss-cross pattern. This ensures that the wheel is seated correctly and snugly.
Re-torque Wheel Spacers:
it is crucial to re-torque your new wheel spacers after the first 50 to 100 driving miles. Then, just re-torque them every routine tire maintenance. By torquing each wheel bolt to the proper torque specification, your new wheel spacers will safely function.
Check Tire Rubbing:
After installing Porsche 997 wheel spacers, park the car on flat ground, rotate the steering wheel to one extreme position, and inspect the wheel well to check whether there are rubbing signs.
