Wheels spacers?
Are these needed for a flush look or is it pretty flush from pickup? Love the flush look. Anyone install them? This is all new to me. No idea what size(mm) or even where to get them. If it was an Audi it be easy peazy lol. W my RS5 I think wheels spacers was one of the first mods I did.
Thanks again guys

Depends on what you plan to do: look flush or track. In the track case you may want to read through the posts on here regarding offset, spacing wheels out.
A lot of sponsors on here, similar to the audi forum, have the necessary parts, spacers for your vehicle. They have been posted and are responsive.

If memory serves me right, one of the Porsche GT4 manuals (may be one of the supplements that was part of the big binder) states that spacers are 'not allowed' (vs "Not Recommended"). So some strong words IIRC.
I have bought all my spacers (for different car applications sans the GT4 which I run stock) from Junior at Mototsport-Tech. I beleive they are sponsors here. They do custom spacers so basically anything you spec.

MST recommends getting the extended lugs for anything 8mm or higher. I think 5mm you might be OK. From memory i got the 7mm on my 993 C4S and they said that is the most they would go while on stock lugs.

The factory spacer set comes with new longer lug nuts and I wouldn't have it any other way:
