Is anybody running spacers on their lowered Cayman/Boxster? If so, what sizes and where did you get them from? Pictures would be great! Thanks in advance!

I have 15mm in the rear. Will be doing 7mm front. No rubbing on the rear, it is close though.

Looks great. Which spacers did you go with?

Very nice but what wheels are those and what is the offset and width of the rims?

OZ Laggeras from tire rack. H&R spacers.

20” wheels ps4s tires.

I don't have H&R springs but do have PASM plus Sport Suspension (-20mm), and I'm running 10mm spacers all round without any issues whatsoever.

Aesthetically, to my eyes, they are perfect.

It will of course also depend on the wheels. I have 20" Carrera S, so adding 10mm spacers results in the rims only being 4mm at front and 6mm at back further out than the standard Carrera Sport and Turbo wheels (which are both 0.5" (12mm) wider and have a slightly different offset at the back ET47 vs ET45).

looks sick af!!!

Just got some 15/10 spacers and H&R hopefully next week for my graphite blue ...cant wait!!!

put the 10/15 spacers on yesterday

I tried spacers on my Boxster. 7mmx15mm and then switched to 7mm all around, until just removing them because I didn't like the handling. Both combinations changed the handling dynamics with the 7mm front x 15mm rear having the most impact (more oversteer), but at least the 7mmx7mm kept the stagger consistent with OEM specs. Both setups reduced responsiveness. Just wasn't comfortable with them. And unless you're then going to get the car re-aligned and dialed in (toe/camber) to accommodate for the spacers, you're going to wear out tires unevenly and put more stress on suspension components. If you want a wider track and more rubber in the wheel well, then you need wider rims and tires on both ends of the car. Spacers are the cheap way initially, but replacing tires becomes expensive. JMO of course.

I'll probably be listing my spacers in the market classifieds if I ever get around to it lol

interesting , you would think logically that the wider stance would increase handling, hence most track cars are lower and wider.... I am set to do another alignment after the springs settle, but from what I understand the spacers don't really effect the alignment, maybe if you are doing 25mm +

anytime you lower a car your are going to have to count on going through tires a bit quicker.... the price most of us are willing to pay.

alignment specs, sway and and anti sway bars and tire pressure also factor into under/oversteer...I've read that a wider rear will tend to understeer and a wider front will tend to oversteer....it is all about finding the right balance.

haven't had much time to test it out much so far, but did take it on canyon run last night and it felt really good.

A wider stance will increase stability, but not necessarily enhance handling. This is a good thread on the subject on the Pelican Parts forum.

I have to add, I noticed the fender wells behind the tires were taking more hits from road debris, after adding the spacers. More rubber exposed from out of the wheel well was kicking up more junk into the paint. Didn't want to add mudflaps to my Boxster lol
