John K Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I will freely admit to having no knowledge of wheel spacers so when I went to ATS today to get my spurious NSF spacer removed (long story...) So when I looked into the frunk to see what the guys had removed I was gob smacked... It shows when you get into the world of 'proper cars' how much engineering steps up a gear. What Porsche use as a spacer, most mainstream manufacturers would use as a brake disc..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Daniel Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 That's not an original Porsche spacer its an aftermarket one. What you will have to look at now is what length bolts have been used and do they have the correct seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 At least it's hub centric and you can also see it's been made for more than one PCD pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxob Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 So is the o/s/f spacer still fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the last service I discovered it ONLY had a NSF spacer fitted. No idea where the other three are - possibly in the Winter Wheels. So by removing this one, no spacers are on the car at all.

Have you noticed slightly lighter steering or a change in handling now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But knowing something had been changed on the car and that I am a suggestible as a blob of soft ear wax... I dunno I wouldn't trust my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha but a pull to the left would not have been a surprise given the wider track on one side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
