10mm Hubcentric wheel spacers
The wheel man:
Although I agree with the comments about a spacer increasing the load on the bearings, lets not forget that ANY change in this area can do exactly the same... How many on here have aftermarket wheels that are not 7.5" wide with a ET51 offset??
Same goes for lowering the car, changes the geometry of the wheels for all driving situations.
Like other modifications, there can be downsides (mapping for example can cause premature failure of the DV) what we all need to remember is that situations like Bacillus' are in the extreme........
Rant over :laugh:

....Hence why I was particular who I chose to do my suspension installation and setup.

WhiteGTI:
Porsche offer spacers as an optional extra...so does that mean that they engineer the parts at the beginning to be able to cope with the extra load that the spacers might cause...?

....That's an extremely good point!
Does this 'spacer option' include any other modifications? To suspension bushes for example?
