yeah, well...I don't know if this helps, but...
...I've auto-x'ed several times in my old TT which had 25mm spacers, and noticed several Porsche guys at the same events with spacers, so I don't think it's an issue, as long as: a) the spacers are hubcentric, and b) the wheel bolts are the appropriate length. I'd also suggest torquing the wheel bolts with the wheels OFF the ground (i.e. jacked up), just be very careful when you do that, and try not to have the car fall on your toe.
Some may say that the spacers place undue stress on the wheel bearings and such, and that may be true, but I never had a problem with them on my TT over nearly 50k miles.

Thanx. The last sentence partially answers, but a TT is much lighter than the S/RS series.
In addition, I was hoping you would have a clever comeback to my clever "slow learners" comment.
