You need to use hubcentric spacers to allow the wheels to fit.

-21mm in the Front - you may have to modify the inside of the spacers to allow them to fit over the wheel bearing grease cap. I use the bolt on spacers from the rear of the 996 that I bought on FeeBay.


-27mm to 35mm in the rear, depending on the width of the wheels. Remember the heavier the spacer the more power it takes to accelerate.
