When I had my P2S, I had 7mm on rear, 5mm on front. I had the 7mms as leftovers from a previous 911 (H&R), but bought the RSS spacers from Suncoast (Sponsor link on the right).

Hey wjohnson36

I prefer a more aggressive stance. My 911 had 7mm front, 14mm rear. The Panamera doesn't have enough of a gap for the 14mm (the wheel would stick out), so I used the 7mm in the rear. Since Porsche doesn't have an option for Spacers in the front (see online configurator), I chose to only put 5mm there. To me, the front still needed something, and the 5mm did the trick.

Since the difference between 5mm and 7mm is so small, if I were doing it from scratch I'd just get 5mm all around as to avoid issues with getting the different bolt sizes mixed up.

5mm Spacers don't require new bolts (7mm does).
