Asked the dealership to transfer the 5mm spacers from my Boxster GTS(20in wheels) to my Spyder (also 20 in wheels )and they said porsche doesn't recommend spacers be put on 20's. Never mentioned this before...they were bought from porsche..they cited no reason for it, just not recommended. Anyone have any incite here?

I'm not surprised a dealership will not recommend anything not OEM.

For a 991.2, 17mm rear will definitely not fit. I'm running 12mm up front and 7mm rear and I think I'm going to change to 15mm front. But my car is also lowered with -2.0 degrees camber all around.

I have no idea which 5mm spacer kit you have, .....so the only thing I could say is that on suncoast, there's this (under the 5mm spacer kit)
Not compatible with the 20" Sport Techno or 20" Sport Classic wheels, or vehicles equipped with snow chains. Not compatible with Spyder, GT4, or GTS 4.0 models.
