Cayenne GTS + Techarts = need for spacers! (lots of pics)
Cayenne GTS + Techarts = need for spacers! (lots of pics)
I bought a set of Techart Formula GTS wheels from Wheel Boutique (whom I whole heartedly endorse as a great company to buy from - Thanks Ben!) but when I mounted them on the GTS it was obvious I needed to add spacers to get the stance looking right. Without them the wheels looked too far under the truck.
Soooooo, I hooked up with Matt at GMP here in Charlotte and bought a set of 15mm H&R spacers for the front and 23mm H&R spacers for the rear along with a complete set of 59mm (shank) wheel bolts. Here is the result, I think the stance looks like it should.
Techart; if you're reading this you need to adjust the offset on your wheels! They are far too expensive to have to add spacers to get them to look right on a vehicle they were specifically designed to fit! Additionally, you need to improve your packaging to prevent the wheels from sliding around in the box and scratching the face of the wheel. It took two sets to get a set that was acceptable (I even had to buff scratches out of that set!). Other than that, it's an awesome wheel!
Here's the b/f picture:

Here are the after (spacers installed) pics:

Canberk you are selling your SUV -
no wheels unless you are getting a GTS of course.
Chuck the SUV looks GREAT! Pictures are too dark to see it clearly otherwise the pics looks great.
Can you take a rear shot from below to show the stance?
What offsets are the Techarts normally? 50mm?

You know what I don't get is here in this pic with the Techart Form.1 wheels they don't look they need spacers.

BTW, is anyone else see the pictures as too dark? They look fine on my monitor......
Thank you chuck. Your offsets are 55mm
The 22's I currently run are 50mm 22x10. So I will stick with a 17mm spacer instead of the 23's for the rear and 15's for the front perhaps 17's.
Looks great once again. Thank you for posting the pic.
I lowered the car some with lowering links and I can say that it handles much better and less body roll. I would say about halfway between CS and GTS.
Of course I could upgrade to larger sway bars
