Smile Need Advice on Wheel Spacers...

Hey guys,

I just received new wheels/tires for my Cayenne S today. They are OEM 21 inch GTS wheels which I found on eBay a couple days ago. I tried fitting one front wheel onto the car, and realized that I need spacers since the wheel is in contact with the brake caliper.

Any advice on what kind of wheel spacers are best?

Thank you so much!

Vinny

i just ordered some from a vendor on another forum. 215$ shipped w/ the extended studs... great price and i think i like that setup better than the ones that have studs pressed in.

Update:

I decided to fit the GTS wheels in the rears of my Cayenne S. I didn't need any spacers for the rears at all. The calipers are clearing the inside of the wheels and the tires are flush with the rear wheel arch.



I then decided to remove my Carrera S' front H & R spacers (7mm) and try it on my Cayenne. The wheel bolt patterns are exactly the same in the Cayenne's and it did stick out a bit more than the rears. So I purchased a 5 mm spacer as I have a feeling that it'll be just enough to make the wheel clear the calipers and make the tires not stick out as much.
