can't find tiress
Stock 20" rear tires are 295/35/20, overall diameter = 28.1" for PS2 tires
You need to find a set of tires that have the same overall diameter (or at least within 1-2%) of your original tires. Otherwise it throws off your speedometer.
a 295/30/22 will have an overall diameter in the ball park of 29" which is 3+% larger than your original tires.
So let's break it down
Panamera v6 with 18's right now
The place I bought the wheels told
me for sure go with
265/35/22
295/30/22
There are the turbo Wheels
but replicas I'n 22

245/50R18
275/45R18
PZero tires will have a front diameter of 27.6" and rear will have a diameter with 28"
If you go with Pirelli Scorpion using your size, the diameter will be 29.4" and 29.3" respectively, that is way too big for your car
If you go with 255/30/22 and 295/25/22, then you will pretty much preserve the overall diameter.
Mind you that these replica alloy wheels do weigh quite a bit more than your stock 18". Therefore, you will sacrifice quite a bit of performance and handling coz these will be like anchors for your V6.

I think that I recall that FrankP posted a while ago on the Forum, asking about tuning or mods to increase performance on his V6.. Meanwhile, it seems like heavy oversized tires and wheels on the V6 might take him backwards on performance.
Its a matter of looks vs performance in this case-- unless he finds some really light 22 inch wheels, which will cost him big $$ bucks.....
