^ they are both WITH spacers... I guess it depends on the angle. It actually looks better in person. Because of the negative camber the top of the wheel still looks slightly tucked in but toward the bottom it's pretty much even with the flare. Basically, it's even more tucked in when stock (with rear 20x11", front 20x10" - the typical 4.8 staggered wheels). Unfortunately I don't have a good angle pic of that.

Thanks for clearing that up for me - much clearer with your explanation of the camber.

So the stock models DON'T have OEM spacers? I see that the Porsche website has the option to buy 17mm spacers

Thanks for the advice - I do like the look of 10 (front) and 20 (rear) on yours.

just a clarification - the fronts have 15mm spacers.
