7mm front and 15 mm rear.
The car had 72,000 miles at the time.
Now the odometer reads 177,000 miles.
No bearing noise (still on the original bearings).

I don't think they're a quick band-aid. You can have them on permanently without problems.
Porsche has put them (5 mm) on the Special Edition Boxsters.

Happy Boxstering,

It makes no difference to the wheel bearings if a given offset is provided by the wheel alone, or in combination with spacers. The only danger with improperly used spacers is maintaining concentricity, and lug bolt strength/length. The spacers being talked about here are quite small.
