Snow tires 18"

Just bought a Turbo S last night and am looking on Ebay for snow tires and rims. Found a set of stock 18" rims and snow tires for a good deal 1,200.
Question is, will the 18" oem cayenne tires (I'm assuming from an 03 04) fit an 06 Cayenne Turbo S.

The standard factory wheels on an '06 turbo are 18". All others were optional at additional cost. Also check out Sunset Porsche in Oregon--they have a special in this months Excellence magazine--4 new 18" Turbo wheels with Dunlop winter tires mounted, balanced with center caps reg$3914 sale $1200. Also CayenneS 18" new wheels (no center caps) with Dunlop winter tires mounted & Balanced was $3749 sale $1000.

18" is the smallest wheel that you can fit on a turbo, 17" won't fit because of the size of the front rotors..

Short answer is No. 19" minimum on a Turbo S.

Wow. Lots of conflicting advice

There was a post here that said 18's would fit.
TireRack says nothing smaller than 19's
and the guy at the dealership said they must be 20's!

So which is it?

The limiter is the size of the front brake rotors. Those must be some massive rotors!
