Falken RT-7M Wheels

Ok I am getting a set of the Falken RT-7M wheels for my X-mas present , they are 22" wheels for $280 each and look pretty sweet.

What would be the correct setup for the Cayenne Turbo Model 2004?

8.5 front , 9.5 Rear or 9.5 all around?


Thanks

Well there is a lot of options available, you can go the staggered fitment of wider/narrower wheels and tires as long as the overall height of the tire is very close front to back, or you can go the same size at all four corners. This would allow tire rotations, probably better wear characteristics overall, less fuss. A lot of it depends on how you want yours to look, some like the very wide rear tire look, some are happy just to have the upsized wheels in the first place. If it was me they would be 9"-11" wide at all four corners, and base your decision on what size rim is best suited for the size of tire you want to use on it. Hope that makes sense...

Thanks it does make sense and staggered looks great but the only 2 widths available is 8.5 and 9.5 so im not sure if that will create the staggered effect. Would it ??

Most stock rims are 8" I went with a 9.5" rim with a 55 offset. Front is perfect rear could be a little further out so I am adding 17mm spacers. I also went with a 275/45 20 tire that fills out the wheel well a little better

Not much to be gained with those two choices, stick to the same size to make it easy for rotations etc. I would buy the widest rim available (9.5), choose your tire accordingly based on that rim dimension for best fitment. Enjoy!

Microbody,
Your offset should be in the 55 range.
