Not that I'm aware. You can use after market adjustable suspension or aftermarket wheels with more aggressive offsets.

They do not exist.

There are "spacers" for CL Wheels, but not the type of spacers that you're familiar or aware of. The spacers I am referring to can be obtained from Tarrett's and Elephant Racing. They consists of adjustable upper/lower arms, and the Litronic bracket for cars equipped with Litronic headlights. They can be adjusted to the equivalent of 15mm offset spacers. If you want to go to 20mm, you will have to obtain the additional 20mm axle spacer to minimize the stretching of the boot.
I have the adjustable upper/lower control arms on the rear stretched to 10mm offset, IIRC.
Pix of rear with the wheels at +10mm offset

No spacers between the hub and the wheel like with a typical 5-lug car - but as posted above you can extend the control arms to get the wheel hub further out.
The short answer is, if it's just the aesthetic you're looking for, new wheels are easier (and possibly less expensive).

Did some research. $2700 for rear set up. But...one can purchase the GT-3 adjustable(used) and upper wishbone(4) and be way under $2700. SPC sells adjustable lower arms set for $750. You can purchase the Elephant wishbone top units for about $1100 or the dogbone upper control arms for $509. So out of pocket $1200 and my center lock wheels will look just perfect! Very doable.

Defintely cheaper than custom wheels; especially if you like the Porsche RS Spyder OEM CL.
