I have converted my 931 to 968 spindles and hubs (same as late 951 or S2).

Problem is I have ET23 wheels that hit the caliper.

I need spacers about 7 to 10mm. And longer wheel studs.

Where can I find longer wheel studs, are they the same as the rear ?

you can buy OEM wheel studs with different lengths.
the longest you can buy is 110mm.

i have a source in germany that can get them...but i think you can buy them at any car-parts shop.

Yes you can use the rear studs from a 931 or early 944. They press right into the 951/968 front hubs with no issues.

You can't use the stock 21mm 931 rear spacer though - it doesn't fit.

IMO, you would be better to source hubcentric wheel adapters rather then a slip on spacer (I dont know of anyone who produces a HUBCENTRIC slip on - so custom work might be needed)?

Better still, source 951 rims. I have a good set of 951 16's but want top dollar for them

Or I could sell you some 951 15J x7J ET23 which will clear the calipers. Or I could just supply you with the part numbers....whatever.

I wouldn't go down the spacer road if I were you - wait for the correct 951 rims and then finish this upgrade the easy way.

Or ... It's easier to go late offset and deal with the longer steering track control arms...

The problem is If I go for ET52 offset, the wheels are al to modern for my GT replica. I like the phone dial wheels but not inder a GT.

Besides it is al lot of work, I need long aloy a-arms/ modify my steering rack, differnet rear hubs, etc.
