hello (i have already tried search function and looked through TSBs)

I have 2003 996 C4S with rear Summer wheels 11Jx18 45mm ET. Manual recommends rear 10Jx18 47 ET for winter tires. I have found a set of Porsche rims which are 10Jx18 but 65 mm ET. TSB says nothing about spacers on winter tires. does anyone know for sure if i can use 65ET with 18mm or 17mm spacers to get down to 47-48 ET. is it allowed by Porsche?

thanks in advance

I have the same car and the same winter wheels and have used 17mm spacers on the rear wheels for the last 3 winters with no problems. Don't forget that you'll need longer bolts though!

Cheers,

Ron
