Wheel spacers

[HeathM]

Looking for a set of original wheel spacers for my 67. Unobtainium?

[Brad Davis]

Are you looking for the 911R aluminum 27mm spacers as used with the deep 7" Fuch?

[HeathM]

The ones that came with 1967 911s. 5mm? The waffle ones.

[Bert]

The waffle versions are 7 mm that were installed to the 1968 911S rear wheels with 5.5" Fuchs. They were also used on the 1973 Carrera RS rear wheels.

[HeathM]

So what were installed in the 67s?

4.5" Fuchs with no spacers.

I have the original Fuchs on it. I was told they came with spacers from factory, so thank you so much for clarifying Bert! This is exactly why this forum is so important.

Hi Heath,

I sent you a PM.

Just for the early S record, I've worked on several original 67S' ( my good friend in NY still has his original 2 owner S) throughout the years and all but one car didn't have the 'waffle' style spacer that looked very original. There were (4) cars all together. I'm thinking if not installed at the factory in 66-67 run then they were added after by dealers from the bad driving reviews from the magazine journalists? All the cars (from all different history locations) had the exact same spacers. Old, original, waffle style. No 68 cars here in the US then I can see the LWB's getting the spacers stock? Eric @Soterik Chime in here?

This is one of the many I’ve seen that I actually photographed. At the time I didn’t think there were going to be scrutiny about wheel spacers… I didn’t have all the cars at the same time so not going to be able to compare differences.

I’m only talking about the 1967S only.
