I am running 17x7 Porsche wheels. The fronts look great but the issue is that the rears look a bit "tucked". I have the stock 25MM spacers in place. Anyone have any ideas how to best add 10MM or 15MM more?

I think I will have to buy a set of 40MM spacers and install new studs that are 15MM longer than stock.

Anyone know the length of the stock rear studs?

Thanks!

I would use adapters at that distance. Ones that come with studs.

Thx Stefan, I just realized that if I do indeed source 40MM spacers, that come with the proper studs, I don't really need to know the length of the stock studs, dooh!

as an alternative you could get your stock rims widened... pretty easy to add to the outside..

Porsche sells 100mm studs that you can replace the factory ones with.
I'm also considering buying a set of longer studs to use two 21mm spacers on each side on my 931.
