15mm spacers for Panamera

15mm spacers for Panamera
I did this recently, and wanted to post up the before/after pics.
Originally my car came with the 5mm spacers, but IMO they were useless - 5mm, thats less than thickness of a q-tip end - yup, useless.
One thing to keep in mind, is that I already did rear spacers install last week. So all pics have rear spacers in them (sorry, no comparison pics), however you can see the after result and compare the fronts to give you idea of how far the wheels get moved out with spacers in place.
The install was with the 20 inch Turbo 2 wheels, sizes:
- 255-40-R20 front
- 295-35-R20 rear
To do the job:
- Purchased 15mm spacers, one for each corner, total 4.
- Purchased 44mm wheel lug bolts (black) with R14 swivel washer - 5 per wheel, total 20 bolts.
- Brake cleaner for cleaning brakes while I was at it
I must say the 15mm spacers appear to be optimal for spacers on stock wheels for the Panamera.
If I installed thicker spacers, I think when the car lowers down, it would come extremely close, if not touch, the inner wheel well of the car.
So if you contemplate installing spacers, it is something to think about.
Here are some pics...before and after...
