panamera turbo on 22 inch wheels, are you serious?
#18
So to re open a very old thread.
Can anyone give me an idea on the 22's on the panamera for the ride quality.
Im debating getting these - they are stunning but currently the car has 20's turbo II on them.

Depending on the overall quality of roads in your area or places where you typically travel is what you should really think about in regards to going 20 or 22.
I personally am not a fan of riding on rubber bands, so I went 21" since the bay area is a terrible place to have performance car riding on big wheels and low profile tires. Equals dented, bent or cracked wheels. Regardless if your doing forged 1 piece or 3 pieces. I've experience bent/dented 3 piece wheels and still waiting to get them back from the shop for repairs.
If your roads are as terrible full of potholes, uneven roads, metal plates etc like in SF, 101 and other bay area roads, I'd go stick to 20's to get more meat on the tires.

Stuttgart 22's
I have only bent one front wheel slightly after 3 yrs of North East pot holed Rds & highways (which never get repaired). It does not even need repair- still balances out. The Pirelli 265-35-22
bubbled & was replaced under TireRack warranty.

@rds993- car looks great-I have 20” turbos was thinking about getting 22’s...what’s the offset on yours? And what’s the back tire? Not sure if they even make the 22’s anymore like it...
wheels and exhaust are my next projects

Tire in rear is 315-25-22.Pirelli makes the 22's in perfect sizes.

Warranty for tire damaged into pot hole ? Wow ! Here in Europe such damage can be covered only by insurance ...
