I just bought a 14CS with 20” Carrera Classic wheels and would like to add wheel spacers for improved aesthetics. The car has PASM. I have seen that there was a 981 option code XPR for 5mm spacers. Local dealer tells me spacers with PASM can throw codes. What do you recommend that doesn’t poke out too far and won’t affect the PASM (if that really is even a thing)?
I have a 2013 BS PDK PASM SC 20s with 5mm front and 15mm rear. This makes the wheels and tires even with the fender. Absolutely no issues with PASM, in fact I've never head this before. The lugs are longer especially the rears. You definitely can't use the longer rear lugs without the spacer since they hit the brake caliper. Photo from dealer Nov 2019.
I'm headed down the same path...looking at ECS in the 12mm range f/r. I'm curious what, if anything, you did suspension-wise for the camber and what camber you're getting f/r? I like aggressive camber even for street driving (for driving dynamics and I like the aesthetics)...but am likely not headed down a mod path for this car's suspension. (except for the DSC controller that I'll be adding...it's supposed to arrive today)...then I'm swapping tires next week to PS4's and getting a good alignment.
I have 13' boxster with 20" wheels pictured above and PASM. i use 15MM rear and 10MM front, mine are the ECS kit, great quality and come with the longer lugs in black which i prefer. I am moving to Sport Techno wheels in the spring and with the different offset on those i am switching to 5MM front spacers keeping the 15 in the rear.
I have had no issues with PASM and have never heard of spacers causing codes.

I’m running 7 / 15mm spacers and maxed front camber on stock base suspension, -1.5. I did this when I was tracking the car and have just left it now that it’s back to just street. No issues with ride, tire wear, etc.
