Spacers or not spacers?

[.Lefteris.]

Hello friends!
I was about to change the wheels on my TT, but I have almost brand new tires so I will stay with the OEM ones at least for 1 more year!
Now, I have this ''problem'', the rear wheels on my TT looks like they are too much insite the fender!
I see photos of other TTs and the wheels are almost in the same line with the fenders!
Oem turbo 2 wheels on both cases 18''X 11'' with 295 tire!
So, it looks like they use some spacers (as far as I know the 11'' Oem wheels for C4S and Turbo came in one standard offset)
Or, they use the 12'' GT2 set with 315 tires!
I dont wont to go for 12'' wheels but I like the look!

There is the OEM 5mm set option for all four wheels and the 7mm option (for all four again) from Ruf
So what do you think?
5mm, 7mm, something else?
Regards
Leteris

Run a 15mm on the rear with stock wheel... I did years ago at it is perfect!... but I would also run at least a 7mm (7mm to 12mm for front are good) on the front at same time or handling will be effected... remember you will have to run extended wheel bolts with spacers

Had spacers for a year and removed them when dymags were installed...never felt difference on the road...

If you are going to run spacers it is wise to run at least the same or larger on the front... 4wd Turbo's have always had plenty understeer
