I've ever had a problem with wheel spacers 1.5" wide on my trucks.
Both ways (big & small wheels), parts of those assemblies will eventually fail. Nothing last forever. However the more mass (and others) that you introduce, faster that failure will occur - normally. Goes a long way... greater axial force, new harmonics, can go on forever like this. Obviously never solved nor tested by Porsche (or anyone?) so all based on luck here.

You need a black paint job if you plan on keeping those wheels on for a while, OP
