I have ordered a new Cayman S and think the wheels look a little on the narrow side so I have started looking at options to sort. RSS in the US make wheel spacers 15mm for the back and 7mm front, Design911 do 7mm front and rear.
Has anyone tried these and with what results? Or any suggestions/warnings based on experience?

Only warning is the usual one about if you want to keep the car and then want the Porsche extended warranty and have non Porsche parts on it.

I assume the Porsche spacers are too pricey, if they still do them that is.

Porsche offer 5mm spacers at more than twice the price - not unusual really. The Porsche dealership are fitting them for me but have not mentioned the impact on the warranty, I guess they are waiting for the balance on payment before they drop that one on me!!!

fitting wider rear than the front will cause the car to under steer more, also you will get mega road rash with a 15mm spacer.

Porsche have been slowly increasing the front track to help the cars turn in better, then people undo £1000's worth of R and D and widen the rear track more than the front !!!!

crazy !!!!
