Spacer Q (Promise I've Searched) w/ 21" Turbo Wheels
#16
I bought spacers from http://www.maxspeed-motorsports.com/spacerbolts.html
PACKAGE #13 2 x 7mm + 2 X 18mm SPACERS WITH BOLTS PRICE $289.95 USD
I forget which size went where. This was on 21" Turbo 2 wheels on 958 Turbo but the stance was great.

here are a coupla pics of 7mm all around. to my eye, these are about right. they look aggressive without being over the top. i think to play it safe though, i will add some clear bra material behind the fenders as i think the tires will kick out a little more rocks, etc now. sorry for not having better pics but yesterday was crazy..ill try to take better pics next week after i install my tinted sidemarkers (finishing line method didnt work for me so we gotta go in from behind).

Can post a pic the rear wheels showing how much more they stick out?

I clicked back and forth between the pictures quite a few times and other than your daughter I can't see any difference. 7mm is only just over 1/4 inch after all so I'm not surprised.
IMO I think 5 or 7mm spacers are made to fit wheels that are hitting the calipers or something else. 17 or 20mm spacers would make a more noticeable visual impact. But may cause fitment problems with 21 or 22 inch wheels even with extended wheel arches. I'm not sure. ?? I guess nhirsch didn't have any trouble with 17s and 20s. Anybody test with bigger wheels?

as for the 7 mm around with my setup, if I had to do it over again, I probably woulda done 5 in the front, 7 in the rear..small differences I know, but I think I woulda liked the stance a touch better. in person, the 7 made a nice visual impact, and I wouldn't want the wheels to stick out any further. every application is different, but I cant imagine my car having 17 or 20 mm spacers. I really think they would be outside the fenders, or very close and could create lots of rock chips behind the fenders, or just look a touch too wide. im sure I can be proven wrong, but the 7mm all around accomplished the look I was wanting without being over the top.

These guys offer spacers. http://www.sharkwerks.com/products.php?pid=338
They say 7 front and 15 rear but I think that is for a 911 Turbo. Not sure what they recommend for Cayennes.

After installing these spacers on many different Porsche vehicles that have the factory Porsche Wheels we strongly believe that 14mm in the rear and 5 or 7mm in the front give you the best look, we have tried these from 986 to 997 all models in between, the 7/14mm setup work well on the 986 Boxster, 987 Boxster/Cayman, 996 Carrera, 997 Carrera including C4S widebody with the exception of the cayenne, the cayenne looks best with 5mm or 7mm all around.

I just picked up a GTS from the dealership that has just spacers on the rear... I'll check again, but they look fairly substantial.. at least 10mm... maybe 15mm. Gives it a great look with the 21" Turbo wheels.
I can try and snap some shots later.
