Hey jtorrebl, I have the same 4s with 21" sport design wheels and am considering spacers also. Are you happy with 5mm and 7mm decision? Please share any thoughts. Thanks!

definitely happy. The wheels align perfectly with fender now. No vibration at all. I had slight vibration when I had ecs spacers on my cayenne GTS 2016 but those where 15 and 18mm so that probably contributed to picking up more read vibration.
The rss product i used is very well made and includes a mounting pin and the longer bolts. Last time I used ecs dor my wife’s macan I had to measure out the length of bolts j needed. Not this time. Go for it.
one thing, I did see a video with your rims that had 320mm tires in the back. Most 21 inch cars have 315 wide tires. That’ll affect the look a little and have a little more tire that could stick out, but it won’t be a problem and may look even better.

Thanks again for the the mention and sharing your experience with RSS Wheel Spacers. The Pana's stance looks great!
Thanks for the help RSS Mike and jtorrebl. My Panamera 4S stance with 5mm front and 7mm rear is perfect just as pics of the blue car above. I'll do the same on wife Macan Turbo next. Well made product and quick seamless service from RSS, win/win!
I have also purchased the 5 and 7mm spacers from RSS and spoke with Mike. I am getting slightly different results, wheels don't seem to come out as flush as your photos. Front wheel (rubber of tire is 3/8in recessed from fender and 0 recessed in rear, which all makes sense. However I just installed Cargraphic Electronic Lowering Module dropping the car to 28.5 in in front from ground, down 1.5in from low setting and rear is at 30in down 1in from low setting. When I drop the wheels camber inward and I lose the proudness of the spacers. Interested in anyone's thoughts, as I assume then I would need to go a little thicker on the spacers. Has anyway done 7 or 8mm in front and 10-11mm in rear? Photos show comparison against yours at low level. Separate image shows recession when Lowering Module active.
The photos you grabbed are at stock height. Not lowered with low setting in the air suspension. I would think the ride would be pretty compromised in low setting with a module since the stock lowered setting does limit the types of dips I can hit while driving around in the low setting.
low looks great but I don’t think you’ll be able to drive around as freely in the low low mode. You’ll be stressing every little dip and curb and not enjoy the car properly.
It's paint to sample Blue Graphite Metallic, 2018 4S. I waited 12 months from allocation to get it. Ride is better than expected with lowering module. I also have an RS5 lowered and the ride is still smoothe in comparison to the RS5. Also the electronic module automatically goes to the height you have in the system over 44 mph and under it stays at the lower module level. There is also a switch I mounted under the dash so you can turn it off under 44mph. Very impressed with this cargraphics module.
Here is the picture of the car with spacers, but not with the Lowering Module active. Since you asked about the color, it's more fo you to see. This was after the entire car, inside and out was Ceramic'd by CarWerkz in Freemont, CA. Great experience.
Where did you get the cargraphic module and how much did it cost you? Looks amazing. Have any pics of it fully lowered? I went on car graphics website but looks like they only operate out of dealers.
