benblack. That car looks absolutely sick. Do you have a thread with more pictures of it? I just ordered the Forgestar F14 in 22" Wanted to use super deep concave, but aparantly there would be clearence issues with my ceramic brakes. So only deep concave. With 265/30 and 315/25. Was hoping for the same tire set up as you have, but they told me it was not possible.

 

We did it so depends on their offset figures. Maybe they are just being conservative tires this size are expensive. So going your route will be alittle easier on the wallet and I believe there is more tire options. Here's the car with the tires on before we did the widebody and I had new ones made

 

265/30/22 front and 315/25/22 rear is generally the recommended setup for a 22" wheel. I'm not sure why that wouldn't work on yours. Many on this forum run that exact setup.

 

Okay, I've compiled everything I could find on fitment as my primary motive is to not use a 25 series in the rear. I've already read another post that said nothing larger than a 29.0" diameter will not fit and it will rub. There were no other details. I know for sure that 29.9" diameter will rub in the front.

My hope is to try the two fitments that are in bold below. Any thoughts on if the 265/35/22 with 29.3" diameter will fit?

Stock Turbo II Wheels:
Front: 255/40/20 on 20"x9.5" with 65mm offset = 28.0" diameter
Rear: 295/35/20 on 20"x11" with 68mm offset = 28.1" diameter

Fitment that does NOT work:
Front: 285/35/22 = 29.9" diameter = rubbing in front
Rear: unknown, but irrelevant since fronts don't work

Fitments that MIGHT work (but matching tires can be hard to find):
Front: 255/35/22 = 29.0" diameter (no matching tire that I can find)
Rear: 295/30/22 = 29.0" diameter (no matching tire that I can find)

Front: 255/35/22 = 29.0" diameter (PIRELLI P ZERO NERO GT 280 AA A)
Rear: 305/30/22 = 29.2" diameter (PIRELLI P ZERO NERO GT 280 AA A)

Front: 265/35/22 = 29.3" diameter (PIRELLI SCORPION ZERO ASIMMETRICO 420 A A)
Rear: 295/30/22 = 29.0" diameter (PIRELLI SCORPION ZERO ASIMMETRICO 420 A A)

Fitments that do work:
Front: 275/30/22 = 28.5" diameter
Rear: 325/25/22 = 28.4" diameter

Front: 275/30/22 = 28.5" diameter
Rear: 335/25/22 = 28.6" diameter (PIRELLI P ZERO)

Front: 285/30/22 = 28.7" diameter
Rear: 325/25/22 = 28.4" diameter

Front: 285/30/22 = 28.7" diameter
Rear: 335/25/22 = 28.6" diameter (PIRELLI P ZERO)

Front: 265/30/22 = 28.3" diameter (PIRELLI P ZERO NERO GT)
Rear: 315/25/22 = 28.2" diameter (PIRELLI P ZERO NERO GT)

 

I know that will work. And that is the size im using. BUT, they did not recommend me going 285/30 and 335/25. That was the size i wanted, and now i see that would work fine, when i see it on benblacks car.

 

Got it, misunderstood. Ben just warned me of limited tire selection/stock of 335/25/22.

I might try a square setup of 285/30/22 front and 285/30/22 rear.

 

Ched if your doing a concave and I'm sure a staggered but as much meat as u can in the rear 315 I wouldn't go square u need it for traction especially if u start modding the car even with awd and big tires from a dig it lights em up. I wouldn't do less than 315 in the rear. Just my thoughts

 

Thanks. I bought forged monoblocks. 22x9 +45mm, 22x11 + 50mm.

Found your car here with the tire specs: http://autotk.com/tuning/porsche/panamera/7098/

 

Haha nice they have both sets of rims on there. That's funny. And my wheels now are 10.5 front and 12 rear. Def not running 13s. But could

 

What widebody kit are you using benblack? It looks soo nice and clean. I guess its a lot of hours in the bodyshop to get it like that.

 

Custom metal widebody by topo the widebody king in LA. He does all the forgiato widebody corvettes among other things

 

Well, he certanly can call himself a king with that kind of great work. Could you send him to Norway please? I have job for him lol. Been looking for a nice widebody kit, but i dont seem to find one, where i like everything. Closest i got is the lumma design. But only if they could make the front fenders in one piece.

 

Contact him. He builds cars and ships them all over the world

 

What about the TechArt Grand GT?

 

That bodykit is the closest to perfection i have seen, thats for sure. Put quite expensive. Also the Lumma design is not to bad.
