I'm thinking of adding spacers to give the summer mode on my CTT a more aggressive look along with powder coating the wheels black over winter.
Anyone here run spacers? Which ones? Front and Rear, rear only?

I am running 22mm spacers on all four corners with stock 21" rims. Pushes wheel/tire out to the edge of the GTS fender flare. The look is great. I don't have a recent picture from the front to show, but will try to get one at lunch

I'm running 25mm Adaptec Speedware versions on 22x12 et 50 (same offset as stock) wheels on my widebody. Spacers bolt to the wheel hubs using special bolts that come with them, then you use your lug bolts to bolt the wheel to the spacer. If doing it this way, you will need shorter lug bolts than the stock Cayenne ones, so you can source a set from a 997 Porsche - same ball / radius seat, same diameter and thread pitch, just shorter. If staying with 15mm or narrower for the spacer, you can buy longer lug bolts and not need to do the bolt on style. I'd recommend the Ti lug bolts from World Motorsports. I run them on my 997s and Cayenne.

Make sure whatever spacers you get have the wheel centric centering flange. This is designed to mate with the wheel hub in the inside edge of the spacer and then provide the same centering function to the wheel itself. It has to be exactly 71.6mm in order to prevent any high speed vibration issues. Wheel bolt pattern is 5x130 mm. I'd recommend Adaptec Speedware for the spacers - a board sponsor here and who I used.

Yes. I recently fitted 30mm spacers all round.

I use 19" ET59 wheels from a 2012 Cayenne on my 2009 4.8 GTS for my winter tyres - 255/50 R19. Without the spacers they do not fill out the arches anywhere near enough. They look weedy!

Now they extend approximately the same as the standard 21" ET50 wheels with the 295/35 R21.

Jobs a good 'un!

I run 14mm up front and 18mm on the rear on et50 stock 21s. For my taste the front is plenty flush. The rears could stand a few more mms though.

I run 15mm front and 25mm rear on stock 20's that have been painted black with 275/45 tires. It fills the wheel wells perfectly to my eye and rides really well. Making the wheels black somehow makes them appear larger to me.

^^^ Ya. Recently I was tempted to get 20 mms for the rear but wasn't sure how noticeable the extra 2mm would be!
