Wheel Spacers

[gixxer1127]

I was going over the option list and noticed that 17mm is a factory option on the cayenne. Are those for all 4 wheels? What are the benefits of using them besides a wider track? Do you need longer wheel bolts?

Porsche only recommends 17mm spacers for certain wheels. They only go on the rear wheels.

The 17 mm spacers put a bolt on ring on your rear hubs and then you use the new nuts that come with the kit (955.0446.00.23 17mm Spacer Ring, set).

Porsche only specs for "their" wheels so you would need to try them. And, make sure you have appropriate clearances on the brake rotors, struts, brake hoses/cables, fenders, etc.

Yes, you can use the Porsche 17 mm spacers (on the rear only) with those wheels.

The factory option shows that a spacer is bolted to the hub, then the wheels are bolted to the spacer with stock lug nuts. You can also buy aftermarket up to 25mm.

Don't like spacers but if you are going to use them check the most important thing of all. The wheel thread must turn a minimum of 10 turns depending on the pitch before tightening . This means that you must make sure there is enough thread holding the wheel

Getting back to one of the original poster's questions, what would be the benefits of installing wheel spacers in the rear? Is it really only cosmetic?
