Cross Turismo Lowered + Spacers

[EdwinT]

Hi, this is great information. Just ordered ball joints left and right threaded together with a rod which has a “ nut” in the middle to change length in situ.

On the pictures of your low, the front wheel has a bit more room between edge and wheel. Is that on purpose?

On the spacers: Waiting for a set of satin bronze Vossen HF5 (cant wait to see the looks..) which should bring the wheels in more in line with the car, so not sure if these are needed.

Well

, set ready, tomorrow I will collect my new 21” satin bronze Vossen HF-5 wheels with Pirelli zero tyres. Good moment to replace the links.

used the specs Sedan+ very curious how it will look on my CT!

result!

like the stance now, thank you for the settings!
Bit of feddling to get the stock ones of the car, but the new set was easy to install.

like the bronze Vossens with the cherry a lot.

always a risk but turns out well.

How much of a drop is that compared to stock lowest setting?

Looks great, rim color really matches your exterior color! Well done.

Is that shop I see in the pictures also the installer of the spacers? I’m looking for such a company. Porsche Centrum Leusden wants to help, but I have to order and deliver the spacers, and their per hour-rate for the installation is insane.

Thanks !

I didn’t use any spacers, the wheels are build to line up nicely with the arches .

You could give them a call for spacers, they seem to know a lot about wheel setup.

I replaced the lowering links myself on their location while they were working on the wheels.

Really tempted to do this with my mamba. Great job

What width are the wheels? I’m in the same boat right now…thinking spacers for my ninja blade wheels, or going with after market wheels

These are Vossen HF-5 21” /5x130/44-50

Very happy with the way they fit in the wheel
Wells and with the lowering. I can’t image going lower.. think you will hit road or the tyres rubbing something..

lowering cost me 23€ for materials via Amazon.. well worth the investment ?

one thing to do, sourcing parts to fit the hubcaps with Porsche crest

Thanks. Appreciate it. Think I might lower and use spacers with my current 21s for now…until I find a wheel I like. New to me car, so either I keep these wheels as summers and buy new for winter…or vice versa(tho 21s in winter isn’t ideal)

Looks amazing! Love the Cherry, with those bronze Vossens. The lowered CT/ST looks so great....completely changes the look of the car in my opinion. Low, wide and aggressive!

Did you reuse your OEM 21" tires, or are those new?

New tyres, I fitted winter tyres to my OEM 20" rims, so now the summer edition on the 21"vossens.
but thanks, Like the looks too.

But i really have to paint the calipers as these have white oxidation. not sure about the color though.. of course white, red and yellow are forbidden in the Porsche scene when not having the original brake setups accompanying the colours, but i am tempted to have the yellow as a contrast., I like the photoshopped picture but perhaps i'm on the save side with just black.
