Well, for sure, those ones wouldn't fit, wrong PCD. And don't forget, Touaregs use special high strength wheel bolts, and to use spacers you'd have to change to aftermarket, unknown strength studs....
Have had some experience with spacers on Landcruisers, and they're not for me.

Yes people have run spacers. You can find OEM parts for the Cayenne that will fit the Touareg.

I run them, I have 2" on the rear bolt on style (i.e bolts to the hub and the wheel bolts to the spacer) and 1" on the front bolt through style (longer bolts that sandwich the spacer inbetween the hub and the wheel).
There are heaps around for porsche obviously , I regulary torture my touareg and have never had a problem.
You should always go with hubcentric style ones.

If Alex doesn't give you enough confidence the no one will.
Haven't you seen this thread?

I believe T-Reguan also running spacers on his T3.

I have seen it but never seized to ask a question.... "Why?"

I would suggest using only bolt on adapters. Touaregs weigh a lot, so there are a lot of shear forces on the bolts on bolt through style spacers during turns. Dirt crawling is different as you tend to go much slower but on pavement at 65mph on turns......

I'd never given them much thought but typing "Cayenne wheel spacers" into Google shows there is quite a choice from fairly thin, bolt throughs to quite thick, bolt-ons.

Not my cup of tea but I'd go with bolt-ons too.
