Think you'll find many owners on this forum who are satisfied with spacers of varying sizes.

Their cars look so good that this week I added 10mm spacers F&R to a GTS ST w/Goodyear Asymmetric 3. No rubbing, subtly better stance, and no steering vibrations. I could (should?) have gone with larger spacers, but am happy with the result.

I bought from https://4wheelspacers.com/

I use the H&R 14/15mm on my mission e's. They are perfect in my opinion. Just don't forget that when you add spacers, you have to buy longer lug bolts as well. I had them on for about 5000 miles before switching to aftermarket/sticky tires for summer. Zero issues....

I just rcently got 15mm spacers (front and rear) on my new 2025 Taycan base model. (This is the vehicle in my profile.)
I've driven about 1,500 miles since then and I can't tell any difference in driving or handling. I had these installed at Flat6 Motorsports in Sandford (Orlando), Florida. I highly recommend them. flat6motorsports.com

Are these spacers for ride height?
I’m wondering if I can put spacers in to raise my vehicle height just 10-15mm so I can easily clear the hump as I enter my garage. Currently I just barely scrape the front bottom of the car.
10-15mm would be perfect but I fear it may change the way the car rides on the highway at speed…

No, these spacers are to move the wheels out, away from the hub. Personally I think the Porsche engineers know best.

Are you on air suspension? - can you set the location lift so the car raises automatically? It's what I do to get over a small ridge entering my driveway.

I do but I have to cut the wheels as I enter & exit to get just about 1/2” height so I don’t scrape. I don’t need much more height but with the lift down I scrape badly…

I went from 22" Vossen HF5 to 21" cross OEM wheels to now 20" powdercoated gloss black OEM wheels Turbo S type, on my CT Turbo S. I use 15mm spacers all around and I do like it. Now it gives me more comfort, only negative the big yellow bananas pods on the ceramic brakes are less visible. But comfort is good and with the spacers it looks fine in ny opinion.

At least for those considering spacers. 15mm is totally fine on the OEM 20".

Looks great!

What made you go smaller and what 15mm kit did you use?
Im on the factory 21” and been considering 15mm all around but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

I went smaller because of comfort, and perhaps a minimal speed gain :) :)

The 22" Vossen were great until u need to replace tires (not cost wise but just the issues some people have to replace tires on those specific rims). I have 21" as well (winter set) and I do believe the 15mm work well on those too.
I think this 15mm set is fine, not too much, not too little, right for me.

Ugh....you're making me debate whether I should slap back on my 10mm spacers. I just get a small nagging feeling when I slap on spacers with a suspension setup that comes very well tuned from factory, especially with PDCC and RWS---like I'm screwing with that bit.

You wont screw with anything...only thing that changes is the width of tread...cant be wrong in my opinion. I also have PDCC and RWS....no issues.

Changed my mind again....back to 21 inch OEM + Pzeros + 15mm spacers. Perfect IMHO.

15mm spacers all around that is.
