Has anyone done wheel spacers on the EV or lowering? If you have what size and where did you order from? I have a friend with a taycan that did it and looks good. I can't find any companies that make them for the macan EV besides the link below. The smallest spacer is 25mm?? that is huge. some research shows the following for wheel specs

Bolt pattern: 5x130
Center Bore: 66.6

As far as lowering I came across these. Also seems to be the only company offering them. Would prefer to order from a known site like flat6motorsports

there's a couple companies doing the lower links...I plan to pick up some myself very soon.
The thing to make sure of, is that they're for the EV...cuz the linkage/suspension set up is not the same as the gas model.

as the for the spacer, you just gotta figure out what size you want... I think 10-15mm will be nice to push the wheels out to the fenders, but this depends on the wheels you have.
remember, the fenders are different depends on what size wheels the car was ordered with...

I have the RS Spyder wheels. I was going to get 15mm but cant fine any spacers that fit the EV specs. The bolt pattern is different from the ICE macan and the CB is different from the taycan.


The lowering link "link" I sent is also the only one I am aware of that is for the macan EV. Could you send a link to the other lowering kits you found

yeah, I personally would still keep the spacer at 10-15mm so that you don't go beyond the fender.
Plus, you MUST get 10-15mm longer lugs of course. I don't want to assume you knew this...

as for the lowering links, my bad, you're right. that place just sells via web and ebay...

Have you found spacers at work? I looked for a good 30 minutes. Looks like there are adapter spacers for the bolt pattern, but the center bore size is wrong

It’s a Porsche, and you are going to alter the geometry and suspension characteristics? Only for the “looks” of it?

in this case, lowering you get both. Better handing and better looks.

Don’t you think highly educated and experienced engineers would have done that, if it’s that easy?
they have to take into account other things...like height Legal limits. or speed bump heights... driveway apron heights/angles...
and i know you know this.

just received the Blackmoon links...and i'm a lil dissapointed ...
1. they are the same links shown on the site, which i believe are actually for the ICE models, although these were specifically listed for the XAB.
note: having been in the suspension, the links for the electric are NOT the same as the gas. I guess we'll see if it fits though.

2. no instructions on which way to adjust the links for a raise or lower... comments turned off on their only "instructianal" video... oh well

so lookin at another video, you shorten the link to lower the car

I ordered the same ones as you and should be here soon. I’m curious if they work


These ones look different for the ICE Macan, but I saw on suncoast Porsche they look the same as the ones we ordered for the ICE so a bit confusing
