A few questions about wheel spacers :)

[Leverage]

Hi All, I ordered & received my spacers (14mm front & 15mm rear). I haven't installed them... yet because I can't stop thinking about a few things:

1° Does installing the spacers could void any warranty?

2° When you switch to your winter tires (summer '21 -> winter 20'), do you leave the spacers?

3° Has anyone got a remark from Porsche once they noticed the spacers? Or do they don't care? (See question 1° about warranty).

Thanks All!

Will depend on your dealer but they shouldn’t affect your warranty.

My dealer offered to install them, but wouldn’t order them for me. So they are fine with it. I believe when installing spacers or non NFO tires you can’t complain about road noise, comfort and efficiency anymore. But the rest should be covered of course.

I went to another premium dealer in my area, they advice me to go to 20 or 25mm. Just curious, why did you choose 15mm? I did not give the go yet, so want to make a good decision

Someone posted that video a few weeks ago:



and the guy went for 14mm front & 15mm rear and I really liked the look of it. I think 20 or 25 is a bit too agressive. At least for me. I want it to be subtle. Also I'm overly cautious while driving with my 21' and wants to avoid scratching them. Adding another 25mm could be a bit too risky

I installed spacers as soon as I got the car. Dealer has serviced my car a few times and made no comments about the spacers. I really enjoy the stance of the car with spacers.

Thank you for your message. How much "mm" spacers did you do ?

Before installing them maybe you should read this.

They are illegal in Belgium but not in NL. well they are not exactly legal in NL but not a test point for the APK

I don’t know what will happen in case of an accedent but it sounds you could be in trouble because your car is not conform anymore.

For Porsche warranty in Belgium I don’t know. I don’t think they can prove the battery replacement, heater defect or on board charger problems will be related to the spacers.
