Forum Mbrs. swap wheel spacers :) -- installed photos

[ciaranob]

Purchased spacers from @lcarron and finally got to install today - 15mm rear and 10mm front - zero difference in car behaviour - def an improvement in stance and looks imo - thx Laurent!

Before pics and pre-wash!

Looks great.
With the Taycan most recommend to have the bigger spacers on the front or at least the same all round.

I'm sorry I'm such a noob but a barely see a difference. Can you explain what they are and what it does? Thanks

They push the wheels out to fill the arches better thereby creating a better look/stance.

Ok I see now. Thank you

How difficult is it to install?

Looks nicer but not for me, I am already excessively concerned about kerbing rims parking

No more than taking your wheel off and reinstalling .
Basically need to ensure the contact areas are dirt/rust free (wire brush) and use a small amount of anti-seize (e.g. Permatex) on the hub ‘blades’ only. Super simple - be sure to torque your bolts to the factory setting (118 ft/lb for the Taycan with 21” wheels).
Pictures def tend to emphasize how small a change it is but in person it is really quite noticeable and in a good way!

Entirely understand - fortunately in 90+ % of the parking I do on a day to day basis this is actually not an issue here - def not the case in many other places I’ve lived! And as you can see, the rims are still fractionally under the body so works OK.

Depends who you talk to .

For me slightly accentuating the factory offsets works better - all very subtle TBH regardless.

No problem for me at home but most places I park away from home are on the roadside and I haven’t got the hang of using the side cameras with confidence yet.
