Are there any noticeable handling compromises?

What is the max width of spacer you can get away with?

Thanks
I have 15mm front and back. Same sized wheels just out 15mm more. They do not protrude from the wheel wells and I have no rubbing issues with 17" stock Boxster wheels. Have yet to have any suspension problems with this set up. I also have M030 Sway bars front and rear. Handles real well with no lean on hard corners. They do tend to throw up a bit more road grime onto the rocker panels and rear fenders.
