Correct, will need at least 20-25mm spacers...
...Elephant Racing is only place I'm aware of that offers something that large.
Will need longer bolts, also.

That's a huge spacer. IMO, buy the right wheels with the proper offset. Save the unsprung weight, too.

Yes buying the wheels with the proper upset is probably the way to go but Porsche seems to think they are worth $7000

Does anyone know of anybody out there that has run into this problem and overcome it problem with spacers is what you buy and you can't send them back

You're better off buying aftermarket wheels. Throwing 20mm spacers on isn't the best performance thing to do to make wheels clear with wrong offsets.

This^^^^. And be patient. The wide body ST wheels can be found if you just wait a bit. They come up on EBay more frequently than you might guess. Even the 50th anniversary wheels (which are identical to the ST wide body size/offset) come up occasionally. Both are the best for the 991 wide body if you ask me.

Call Dave @ Wheel Enhancement in Los Angeles. He always has new OEM take-off wheels and all the top aftermarket brands.

What wheels are on your car now?

Someone might be interested in a swap.

That's because you don't have a WB car:

Sport Techno wheels
Size: Carrera/Carrera S
Front - 9 x 20 ET51 - 245/35 ZR 20
Rear - 11.5 x 20 ET68 - 305/30 ZR 20

Size: Carrera 4/Carrera 4S
Front - 9 x 20 ET51 - 245/35 ZR 20
Rear - 11.5 x 20 ET48 - 305/30 ZR 20
