wheel spacers?

Got the 2016 GTS and I thought initially. There is nothing left to do to this car. I thought the wheels were tucked in too much but didn't want to mess with the car. Now I want to pop them out to be more flush with the fender. What are my options?
Also I remember something about getting them certified if you put them on a 911.

Not sure what you mean by "certified". A lot of folks use the 5mm spacers from Porsche - remember you'll need to get extra length lug bolts too.

I did H&R – I think 18mm front and 23mm Rear – I had my dealer install them during the PDI before I picked it up. Just make sure you install longer bolts when you install the spacers.

What year cayenne and tire size do you have? Every kit I've seen has the longer lugs. Pics?

Sorry – mine is a 2016 as well but I’m on 20’s. These same spacers fit with your 21’s as well. Personally I don’t think the small spacers (5mm) make a noticeable difference. These larger ones give it a noticeably more aggressive stance (but don’t stick out from the fenders), I think they’re perfect. I’ll take better pics later but here are a couple for now.

Looks good! So the front and rear axles are different widths huh?to the naked eye it looks close. Can tell from the pic, but are they flush to the body now?

Yes, the norm is to go wider on the rear. They are definitely more flush - I'll try to take better pics tomorrow.
