Before you purchase any wheel set, you should carefully calculate the difference in fitment in order to make sure that you will have proper clearance.

Before buying I would check the rear offset, the info I've found states the fronts are right at 50mm offset, but the info I have says the rears should also be 50mm not 65mm. Make sure they are right, or find out what the return policy is and remember that shipping them back can be expensive not to mention that they will not refund your ship to receive cost either.

If I am not mistaken the oem wheels on your Cayman are the following sizes and offsets : 18x8 +57 offset and 18x9.5 +43 offset. If that is the case, the rear wheels will retract in 16 mm and you will loose 28mm of inner clearance. That would be disastrous !

Also, check with the CaymanClub folk. There were a few threads of a company called Raderwerks I believe that made an 18" version of the turbo wheel exactly like that in specific Cayman fitments. The price I think was pretty good too.

$10k marked down to $500. Looks like a screaming bargain.

Thanks for all the response.

Its a great deal for a set of rims to beat up on. I think i will probably need spacers for the back. Do you guys have any idea of tire size? 265 or 305's

Have a good day!
