Where's the best place to get them? I'd like to use the bolt-through design. I'm running 17X7 front and 17X8.5 rear. Porsche Boxter wheels. Does 3/8"-front and 1" rear sound right? Thanks.

You have the exact same wheel and spacer setup that I have. I run a 1 1/4" wider fender in the back, stock in front and everything fits fine.

3/8" spacers are just goingto be a slip-on type. I bought mine from Topline. I bought my bolt-on 1" spacers from Tweeks, which is the Real Source for Porsche parts.

Werd. So do the rear spacers have studs already on them? And do I use the stock studs on the rear rotor? Thanks!!

The spacers have studs in them and they come with supplied nuts. Use the supplied nuts to attatch to your existing studs and the bolt the wheel to the spacer as normal. Make sure everything it torqued right and you're all set!

A bunch on ebay. Do a search on "porsche wheels". Spacers in every imaginable size.

Don't forget the thread locker on the stud nuts that hold the spacer on. Be sure to pull the wheels and check the torque on them every now and again just to be safe.
