No affiliation with the seller, but wondering if these would fit on the Cayenne? I thought Cayenne offsets were et 60mm so it seems these would be very close? Would spacers be needed? I would prefer not using spacers if possible.

No, 911 rims and tires will not work with the Cayenne!

Get the proper rims that are made specifically for the Cayenne.
Also make sure that the tires have the proper load # to match the vehicle as the Cayenne is very heavy.

Note: VW Touareg and Audi Q7 wheels will also work with the Cayenne.

Good luck hunting!

I realize most people do not recommend going with the staggered setup, but if the offsets fit, and you put proper tires on, then seems like they would work. I have seen others running similar.

You would bend those rimes within one week. Cayenne weight almost 2000 lb. more then 911.
BBS RX 2 are made for cayenne I have them on my ML63 and it looks like this

They may fit but they are not load rated for the Cayenne

If you are going to spend money upgrading, you need to go to 21" or 22" anyway. Like others have said, they may fit, but aren't load rated for that much weight.

I don't quite agree with this. I really think the best wheel size for the Cayenne is 19" or 20". It is still a heavy SUV, and in 19" or 20", the ride is great and you lose nothing in handling. Plus....with the big fender gap on an SUV, I personally think 22's look a little funny.

20"s with a lip look too small. And 19"s with a lip look really small.

A set of champion 22s with a lowering control module look amazing. The ride does suffer once you go bigger than a 20" though. You are definitely right about that.

How do the BBS RE's differ from the RS-GT's in terms of load rating? Both are listed on BBS site showing fitments for the Cayenne. 18" RS-GT and 20" RE. I would think both would be similar in load rating since both are forged wheels?

mile2424,

I don't understand why you are you so stuck on putting 911 wheels/tires on a Cayenne, even if you could.

They also seem very expensive!

Last Fall I bought a perfect set of used OEM 19" 06 Cayenne rims with worn but usable P Zero's for $750. I have the exact same set for the winter with P Scorpions. They look great while also maintaining safety and functionality.

Good luck and I hope it works out for you!

I am not stuck on the wheels themselves, just trying to understand the load rating's between different wheels.
