Its interesting to note that Porsche offers 5mm rear spacers in their options list on the 987s and 997s (of course at their usual astronomical pricing). In fact, on the new limited edition RS60 Boxster S, Porsche slapped on front and rear spacers from their parts bin to give it a wider track and for aesthetics.
So running the right spacers (nothing too big) with the correct hardware on our cars should not be a big deal. Of course having said that, I'd still feel iffy about running front spacers but I see some of our european posters/members run all sorts of spacers front and rear in their respective countries with no reservations (keep in mind some of the european countries are anal about the roadworthiness of mods).
