Porsche Wheel Spacers UK – 5x130 Hubcentric (996–992, 987–718)

Brightstone Engineering manufactures premium Porsche wheel spacers in the UK designed for performance Porsche models including the 911, Cayman, Boxster, Panamera, Cayenne and Taycan.

Our Porsche wheel spacers are precision CNC machined from aerospace-grade 6082-T6 aluminium billet, creating lightweight yet extremely strong performance wheel spacers for high-performance vehicles. Each spacer is precision bored to Porsche’s 71.6mm centre bore, ensuring a perfect hubcentric fitment between the hub and the wheel.

Designed specifically for the Porsche 5x130 bolt pattern, these hubcentric wheel spacers widen the track of the vehicle, improve stance, and can enhance handling stability while maintaining OEM-level safety and reliability.

Every spacer is manufactured in Britain, finished in durable black anodising, and supplied with high-tensile wheel bolts for spacers engineered specifically for Porsche fitment.

Porsche 5x130 Hubcentric Wheel Spacer Fitment

Most modern Porsche models use a 5x130 wheel bolt pattern with a 71.6mm hub centre bore.

Brightstone Engineering produces hubcentric Porsche wheel spacers designed to match these exact factory dimensions. A hub centric wheel spacer locates precisely on the hub before the wheel is installed, ensuring the weight of the vehicle is supported by the hub rather than the wheel bolts.

This design is important because non-hub centric spacers rely on the wheel bolts alone to centre the wheel, which can cause vibration and uneven load distribution.

By contrast, hubcentric wheel spacers ensure the wheel remains perfectly centred on the hub, improving safety, ride quality and long-term reliability.

Why Install Wheel Spacers on a Porsche?

Proper installation of wheel spacers on a Porsche moves the wheels slightly further away from the hub, increasing the track width of the vehicle.

This modification is popular among Porsche owners because it can:

• Improve vehicle stance
• Enhance handling and cornering grip
• Widen the track of the vehicle
• Provide clearance for larger brakes or wider wheels

A wider track can improve stability and balance, especially during spirited driving.

Many Porsche owners install performance wheel spacers simply to achieve a more aggressive stance while maintaining factory wheel fitment.

Choosing the Right Porsche Spacer Thickness

Selecting the correct Porsche spacer thickness depends on your wheels, suspension setup, and the stance you want to achieve.

Common Porsche wheel spacer sizes include:

• 7mm wheel spacers – subtle widening of the stance
• 15mm wheel spacers – a popular fitment for rear wheels
• 20mm wheel spacers – a more aggressive track widening setup

Choosing the right size spacer is important to ensure the wheel sits correctly relative to the hub and fender.

When selecting spacers for your Porsche, always consider wheel offset, suspension geometry, brake clearance and proper wheel bolt engagement.

Wheel Spacer Materials & Engineering

Brightstone Engineering custom wheel spacers are manufactured from high-quality 6082-T6 aluminium, a material commonly used in motorsport and aerospace engineering.

This material offers:

• Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
• High durability under load
• Strong corrosion resistance
• Lightweight construction

Using high-quality wheel spacer materials ensures the spacers remain reliable even under the demanding loads experienced by high-performance vehicles like Porsche.

Installing Porsche Wheel Spacers

Installing wheel spacers is a straightforward process when the correct components are used.

Basic spacer installation guide:

1. Remove the wheel from the vehicle.
2. Clean the hub face to ensure the spacer sits flush against the hub.
3. Place the hubcentric spacer onto the hub.
4. Reinstall the wheel using the supplied wheel bolts.
5. Torque the bolts to Porsche factory specifications.

Ensuring spacers are installed correctly is essential to maintain safety and avoid vibration.

Spacer Safety Tips

When installed properly, Porsche wheel spacers are safe and widely used on performance vehicles.

Important spacer safety tips include:

• Always use hubcentric spacers
• Ensure proper wheel bolt engagement
• Choose the correct spacer thickness
• Torque bolts to the correct specification
• Recheck bolt torque after the first drive

Following these guidelines helps ensure the spacers perform safely and reliably.

Porsche Wheel Spacer FAQs

Are Porsche wheel spacers safe?
Yes. High-quality hubcentric wheel spacers designed specifically for Porsche models are safe when installed correctly with the proper wheel bolts.

What spacer size should I choose?
Common options include 7mm, 15mm and 20mm wheel spacers, depending on wheel offset and desired stance.

Are hubcentric spacers better than non-hub centric spacers?
Yes. Hubcentric spacers ensure the wheel is centred on the hub, preventing vibration and uneven load distribution.
