which wheel spacers for stock 911SC?

Wanting to add wheel spacers to the rear of my 911 SC. Running stock body and 16x7s Fuchs in the rear. Would like the tires to "fill" the fender just a little better. Any thoughts? They come in a number of different thicknesses as you know.
Thanks.

10mm is the widest size that you can use safely with the stock wheel studs. Any wider and you need to swap out the studs for longer ones or use a bolt-on adapter.

Are there any hub-centric spacers available in thinner sizes?

I was thinking the same as the OP - tire needs to come out just a touch.

oops-I see the 10mm aare NLA from Pelican. In that case, there are other places to get them if you check around. The classifieds here is a good place to start.

1" adapters are perfect... or get some 8x16's and put the 7's on the front...
