If you must ... Then buy H&R ones, I wouldn't even attempt to think or use anything else.
Compatible with 991 and 992 based on their listing. I wouldn't go more than 7mm wider.

I hate to sound 'picky', but you know how some companies print their name/logo on the side of the spacer, so if you are standing above the wheel, you can read it ....
Does anyone offer spacers for a 992 that say 'PORSCHE' ???

BPC,
This is not a definitive answer, but here goes -
Front wheels are inset in the fenders a bit more than the rears.
This is normal because front wheels steer and therefore need more fender clearance than rear wheels.
I do not recall if the front wheel fender gap was more pronounced on my 991 than my 992, but from the spacers you listed, it appears 992 drivers are trying to push the front wheels out as far as possible.
While good for styling, large spacers will significantly change the steering geometry (scrub radius and spindle length).
Suspensions in cars at this level are designed by very smart engineers.
For this reason, I minimized geometry changes by using 5 mm spacers front and rear; I have not noticed any negative consequences.
