Spacers

approved by Porsche.

or a collapsible spare wheel are mounted.
Danger!
Risk of accident if the spacers are not re-
moved before mounting 18 inch tires or col-
lapsible spare wheel.
f 17 mm spacers are always to be removed be-
fore mounting 18 inch tires or a collapsible
spare wheel, because the wheel cannot be fit-
ted correctly.
Caution!
Risk of damage to wheel housings if the
spacers on the rear axle are not removed be-
fore fitting the snow chains.
