Depends on the price. I'm waiting for a quote from them.

The rears will not be an issue. The front offset will easily clear the caliper, being a 1 piece wheel. But the front offset will have to be spot on to avoid rubbing inside the fender at full turn, sticking out a bit past the fender, etc.

We'll find out pretty soon.

Let us know what offsets you settle on. I'll be doing something similar soon and any extra data helps.

Just to let you know, offsets are the big secrets of the wheel companies, especially the ones that make custom wheels. Most mass produced wheels come in standard offsets, and you make your own adjustments with custom spacers, etc.

It's not like it's their intellectual property, but I understand if some companies play the holier than thou card and don't want to share their specific offsets. Lame in my opinion. I've ordered custom offset wheels before and posted all the specifics on a public forum to ensure others would be able to benefit from my experimentation. To each their own...

I 100% agree with you. I just passed on the message I received while asking for quote from custom wheel producing companies. I'm sorry if my sentence was not clear.

I will for sure post the specifics of the wheels on my car. Sharing information, experience, and knowledge is the whole idea on posting on a forum. I have already written that I would be trying 20x10.5 at 40 offset with 315/35 - 20. We'll see how that goes.

I didn't see the offsets posted earlier. I've been thinking of the Forgestar F14 22x10.5 +42 with 305 35 22's. Can't wait to see pics of how yours turn out.

If it's not all show, I would not recommend going with anything bigger than 20" wheel on 957. Also, you will be increasing the overall tire diameter by 4.43 cm if go with 305/35 22 tires. I wouldn't recommend that either.

Try to be near stock tire diameter for best performance.

first of all Porshe now thinks that 275/45r20 is better for cayenne

305/35r22 is perfect, they have smooth ride as 275/45r20, 275/40r20 is HARDER. just couple of hours ago I ride my friends 957 ctt rinspeed with r22 and 405 brembo.

ceramics will fit r20, but ET is rule

The OEM diameter of tires of 955 & 957 Cayenne is 72.8 cm. Why would you want to increase the diameter of tires to 77.23 cm with 305/35 - 22?

Put a set of 305/35 R 22 tires on a 955 or 957 Cayenne, put the suspension in lowest setting and try to make a full turn and let me know how you like 305/35 R 22 then.

ET 40 and 38 seems to be the magical number with 10.5 or 11 inch wide wheels fit with 305 or 315 tires.

oem 255/55r28 is 73.8. oem 275/45r20 is 75.6. for 22 it needs to be bigger if you want to use your cayenne as a car not as standing advert of low-profile tires )))

if you didn't catch - real car near me do exactly this every day for three years. wanna photo? ))

for me - 305/35r22 too rare tire, only pirelli, I prefer to use 285/35r22 continental. 295/35r21 michelin is ****. no, ****. loud, weak, etc
