Spacers for 2014 Panamera 4S?

Hi everyone!

What are the ideal spacers front/rear for my 2014 Panamera 4S with 20" OEM wheels. The rear isn't that bad, but the front really needs help!

Your help is greatly appreciated! Where to purchase would also help. No rubbing please! 😜

I was running 5mm spacers on my 2010 PTT both front & rear - my 2013 PTTS came with the rear 5mm spacers standard so I have an extra set of 5mm ones available if that's what you decide you want. You could probably push it to 7-10mm if you really want them flush but the 5mm on both axles do make a visibke difference.

Thanks for your response. Did you have to use extended bolts for the 5mm spacers? From what I understand, you can use the standard bolts??

the lugs on the 2013 are the same length front & rear (rear came with factory spacers) so either they are all longer or none are longer (if that makes sense)

Went to my Porsche Dealer and was told that my 20" Sport Black wheels are a no-no for spacers. Makes no sense to me. It's a god damn spacer. Need to go aftermarket I guess

Dealer will definitely follow what Porsche says. They do not want any liability.

I am currently running 15mm front and rear RSS spacers on the Turbo II wheels, no problem at all. The 20" Sport wheel can only take 5mm spacer at the rear cause it's 1/2" wider and 5mm lower offset to begin with.

I was thinking 5mm rear and 10-15mm front. Thoughts?

How flush do you want the front to be? Going with 10mm will make it the same as your current rear. If you're going to be putting 5mm at the rear then i'll suggest 15mm at the front.

Got it! Thanks! Does anyone make wheel locks on the extended bolts?
