Base OEM suspension, no PASM. After further searching on-line I think that 12/15 mm will be perfect. I was leaning towards H&R hoping to get them in a couple of days, Macan I am looking to purchase is at a Porsche Dealer on South Florida West Coast. Was going to ask them to install them for me upon purchase of Macan
This is what I bought for the same setup, 10mm all around.
20 quantity H&R Wheel Bolt 54mm Length 14x1.5 Inch w/ 19mm Head Porsche Black 1455406SW
2 quantity H&R TRAK+ Wheel Spacers DR Series 10.0mm Audi A4 09-16 2055668SW
I ran them for a bit but removed them for a few reasons.
1. I didn't want to remove them every time I went into for dealer service / warranty work.
2. I noticed more body roll due to a longer lever on the springs. This wasn't reported with PASM or air models but I noticed it on the base setup. I added thicker sway bars which quickly resolved that.
3. I noticed a lot more dirt on the side of the car from the tires kicking up road wash.
4. I noticed the difference of scrub radius when turning, almost a bit of a hopping feel that wasnt the precision feel I had with the factory setup.
5. Even at 10mm in the rear, it was sticking out a bit more than I liked. I can likely attribute this to the higher ride height of the base. The fronts looked good but after I remove them, I began to appreciate what the Porsche engineers designed.
Thanks for your insights. So is the general understanding that Porsche could void the Warranty by adding spacers to a Macan? I know that Porsche markets and sells spacers for some of their other models (ie 991) and I have yet to personally hear of anyone having their warranty voided due to adding the spacers. Is it that since Porsche doesn't market/sells spacers directly for the Macan which could then potentially jeopardizes the warranty.
Yup, when you push them out your going to potentially add more splash to the side of the vehicle. I personally think that the wheels are tucked a bit to far into the fender well, and just a little bit of negative offset I think would make it look so much better. Not sure on the other reported concerns that you mention, I guess I will find out.

On the warranty, I guess I was being cautious since spacers are very visible and can be noted for the future but then again I installed sway bars which is 100% worth it vs. spacers that didn't provide much of a benefit to me.
I can see that if there was a wheel hub or suspension related issue, it could void the warranty on those repairs should something arise. Not likely though and your potential exposure is much less on the base suspension vs. an air suspension model.
it looked a little better but no so much better and I thought the rears looked a bit too much out for my taste. It's all subjective though. The lowered models with air or otherwise look good since the wheels tuck in a bit more as they get lower so it's not the same effect on the base height.
The Flat6 spacers are twice as much as the ones from 4wheelspacers.com.

Fair enough but I liked that there were many Macan-specific good reviews on them. The H&R set I had was about 3x the price and are closest to OE quality bolts but what I like best about the Flat6 spacers is that they have the threaded hole to aid in removal. They can be extremely tough to remove without that.
