SSR GT3 Spacer ?

Hi All - Recently sold (forced) my 996 in exchange for engagement ring and '02 C32 with 10k miles. I also recently purchased a set of new SSR GT3 18" with tires for $2200.00. Seems like a good price to me. I have heard several different answers regarding the need for spacers in the front. Can someone who runs this setup confirm if there are spacers needed in front and if so what size and if there is a recommended vendor. Thanks much

You will need a 3mm front spacer.

I do not stock them, but I can get them for you. If you bought your wheels new, they should have included them with the wheels. You may want to ask wherever you purchased them first. Either way, I'm here to help.

Thanks,

Ben

Ben, Thanks. My 'fell off the truck' Ebay auction did not come with the spacers like Tire Rack said they included for around $800.00 more. I took a chance and it seemed to pay off with my savings. I appreciate your offer to supply them and will contact you outside of this website to arrange purchase. FYI , I have spoken to you regarding Stage I ... just still doing things in order of preference and budget (suspension - wheels - engine). Thanks again

No problem, $800 for 6mm of metal does seem like a lot

I will be out the first half of the day tomorrow, but feel free to ask for Tom, as he will also be able to assist you.

Regards,

Ben
