I have the 18" wheels.


I would not use regular spacers and longer bolts for 20mm or wider. You can get hub centric spacers that use your stock bolts with lugs and nuts to attach your wheels. They aren’t cheap, but shouldn’t wear out your wheel bearings so fast.

I believe porsche recommends using equal spacing front and rear. I could be incorrect though, just remember a thread with that mentioned.
