I forget which size went where. This was on 21" Turbo 2 wheels on 958 Turbo but the stance was great.
I just ordered 7mm all around...ill post up pics as soon as I get them installed. this shop couldn't have had better customer service...was even returning emails for me yesterday on a sunday.

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).

I have 2012 Cayenne Turbo w/20" wheels with factory 17mm spacers on rear. Not sure if that helps. I believe it required the extended wheel arch which I have also.

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?

ya sorry shes in that pic there is no difference in those pics b/c they are both with the spacers, sorry for the confusion...one of these days ill get some real pics done..im behind with a baby born last week.
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.

15 in the rear would def. give you the more aggressive staggered look I wish I had a touch more of on mine. I ordered from maxspeed and they were pretty helpful...this was from their site:

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.
