Introduction

Hello everybody. My name is Tom . Been a long time lurker. Figured after two years of ownership. I'd introduce myself. I recently put a feeler ad about selling the car. The more I think about it. I don't think I can bring myself to letting go. Ive always loved the old school Porsches and finally got one. I've been slowly addressing all the mechanical issues with the car as my wallet could afford lol. Im looking to put some spacers on the car for a meaner stance. Seaking knowledge from the community for which brand and how big I can go front and back? Thanks

Welcome Brother...

Nice Car.
Things to consider...
Make sure you only use Hub-centric Spacers.
Consider Current Tire Wear could change slightly.
Wheel alignment may get skewed.
Make sure to check wheel stud length
It looks like it may be slightly lowered from factory height, so tires could rub if the spacer is too big.

Good luck with the project!!!

Cheers
Louie

Was thinking of selling mine to get into one that's not so clean and original. To make into a hot rod

Yes it is set at euro height. What is the biggest you'd recommend?
