20" Sport Classic Wheels?

All - Does anyone have a picture - or have a car for that matter! - of a 991TT of TTS with the 20" Sport Classic wheels? (save for the spy shots of the 2016 that were on the net...)


Love to see what it looks like.

Has good photo of classic wheels on Porsche "u build it" website ... shows them in silver and painted black. The rims are 9.5 in width with wider tires as opposed to the other offered rims, 8.5 inch and 9.0 inch for center bolt.

Great film, wonder what size tires on rear? 'Porsche u build it' says 295/35, with the 11.5 rims, has to be 305/35 at least or even 315/35. Regular turbo 11.0 inch rims with 305/30s
Fronts with 9.5 inch classic rims are 255/40. that is wider than reg turbo rims of 8.5 or 'S' rims of 9.0 which carry 245/35 tires.

Did you take that film? Get me the correct size for those rear tires on those classic rims and no more posts-in bold for 2 months.
Called a couple Porsche dealers about Classic tire size; they had no clue, or maybe just do not want the bother.

Straight from the configurator...

The Turbo S wheel are:

9 x 20 with 245/35 ZR tires (front)
11.5 x 20 with 305/30 ZR tires (rear)

The Sport Classic Wheels are:

9.5 x 20 with 255/40 ZR tires (front)
11.5 x 20 with 295/35 ZR tires (rear)

That 295/35 on that rear 11.5 classic rim I think is wrong. I think a typo on the Porsche "U build it." website. With the wider rim, really think the rim could accommodate a wider tire like a 305/35 or 315/35.
I will call porsche in the morning.

If anything is incorrect, it's more likely the rear wheel width. The Turbo S tires are 245/305 Front/Rear, while the Classic is 255 Front, which, with the 295 Rear, would give approximately the same total contact patch size for both sets of tires. The PZero 295/35R20 do, however, fit on an 11.5 width wheel.

At least in Aus, the sport classics have 305's on the rear.
Had a loaner TT with them and definately 305's.

Sorry I have some general pics of the car, but none close enough for
clarification. But I did specifically look because they looked nice
and wide on the rear

Cheers,
Scar

Brian, what does your brother think about the Techart springs?
I'm curious how he thinks they compare to stock.

Cheers,

It rides fine, i mean its a supersports car so it won't be as comfy as an s class. he actually thought it was a bit too low, but for me i think it looks perfect especially once we add 21 inch wheels on it.
