Hi all,
I want to put wheel spacers on my 957 Turbo S. What are the biggest wheel spacers available that fits with the factory tires (295/35/21) and rims?
Big Thanks!!!

Thanks for the help 8202632!
My dream would be that the tires stick out like on this cool Cayenne!
Does your tires stick out too with the ones you put on?
EDIT
I just found this ones. Will they fit on the Turbo S with 21" stock tires too?

Yikes.
The guy in that video has something far beyond anything I have seen on this board. I am using 25mm in the rear and the wheels still tuck a little bit under the fenders. That guy's looks like they are displaced 20-35mm beyond flush under the fenders... you would need something like a 70+mm spacer on the hub. This is going to be a custom (and risky) spacer if you do not just get new wheels with offset backspacing.

Big thanks for the answer nodoors!
If I put the 45mm spacers from H&R on the car, will I also need new wheels for it?

To get that full effect in the video posted, yes you will also need new wheels or need to run a spacer that will require lug bots of an unsafe length.
1. You will want to make sure your bump stops limit your tire from slamming into your fender on a pothole or speed bump
2. You may have steering issues with the tires rubbing in the wheel well somewhere
3. You will probably not want to use as large of a spacer on the front as the rear
Please note that using large spacers puts more stress on your wheel bearings and some might tell you they are dangerous to use. There are people who have blamed losing wheels while driving due to their spacer installs on other forums. I regularly check my lug bolts, but you are looking to take this to an extreme that few have and I would call ill advised. I personally don't think it looks good to have tires out past the fenders - unless it is on a large lifted truck with oversized tires.
I have also have a lifted offroad rig with oversized tires and suspension and can tell you that this setup is not good for a daily driver.
The tires are going to sling sand, mud, and rocks all over your paint and ruin it in no time and your cayenne will always look dirty from driving through small puddles and patches of gravel or construction areas.
