I've read that Porsche are doing a limited run of Caymans with "wheel spacers" with GT3 wheels etc. I am really puzzled ... because Porsche won't do it if it will lead to bearing failure etc.!

The reason I am asking is because I have a set of original CSL wheels (not the Competition pack replicas) which I plan to use on the car when I track it. I don't know whether they will fit as standard or whether they'll need spacers. If I need spacers then I don't want to end up with a massive bill to replace any bearings because of failure.

I would rather run on the stock tyres and replace them! Any comments/input will be greatly appreciated.
+1 please enlight me as well.
