Tire suggestions for my 2014 Porsche Panamera 4 running 22 inch wheels!

Hey guys, I've been running into a massive issue with finding the right size tires for my aftermarket 22” wheels for my 2014 Porsche Panamera! The front stick out alot therefore i tend to damage my wheels alot! Can you guys please suggest me a tire size that will avoid just sticking out and cause me less damage? Heres the specs of my set up currently!
Front: Wheel Size 22x10” running 265/30/ZR22 tires
Rear: Wheel Size 22x11” running 315/25/R22 tires

Wheel Specs:
22 inch Mesh Style Wheels
offset: +50 / +55 mm

Those fronts seem too wide - I'd think a 245/30/22 would be a better fitment.

That's a nice matching set diameter/circumference wise. The 245/30R22 would be a stretch on a 10" wide wheel, width range is 8-9". It would also leave you more prone to rim damage.

If the front is sticking out too much the offset might be too low. Are you running spacers?

TireRack lists 22x9 +45 as the front wheel size, tire 255/30R22, so what you have would stick out some comparatively. For the rear it shows 22x10.5 +45 with 305/25R22.

I have a 2015 Panamera S and I run Perelli PZero PZ4, same size as yours but ZR on the rear...no problems.

i am actually not running any spacers but the offset of those wheels are +50 / +55 mm the wheels just stick out alot in the front which causes alot of curb damage and they get dings and dents very fast. I want a tire size that could cover the wheels all the way so that i dont have to worry about all those dings and dents and dont have to get curb rashes repaired all the time

Can try 295/25 22 all around. It's just the front wheel that gets curb damage?

Yes! The front two! Do you recommend all 4 tires to be 295/25?

Since that size fits both front and rear wheel widths yes, although I'm a little nervous you'd be going with a narrower tire in the rear, that you might curb them...

I ran staggered 22s on my Turbo S and loved it

The wheels are Modulare and are a perfect fit for the Turbo models. The only tire option in the proper size was Pirelli Nero Zero with 265 30 22 on the fronts and 315 25 22 on the rears. I bought brand new tires and my ex totaled the car before I got to use them: I was running the factory 20s at the time as it was winter. THEY ARE FOR SALE WITH NEW TIRES if anyone is interested.

I'm not sure the 11 rear is enough for the 315. Every calculator I've used shows 12.4" rear tire width. Can't see you running less than a 11.5 or 12" rear for 305 or 315. I couldn't see 10.5 fitting in the rear.

What width wheels are you running? Looks nice!

TireRack.com lists the tire spec wheel width range and I just go off of that. (I check a couple to make sure there is no typo).

Weird. Not sure I'd trust that. Just using mm to inches conversion you'll get 12.4. I checked a few sources and most suggested bigger wheel.

https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/c...rim-size-chart

Width, Min Size, Suggested Size, Max Size
12,0 295 305 or 315 325
12,5 305 315 or 325 335

Alternatively you can use one of these calulcators: https://www.discounttire.com/learn/tire-size-calculator

The width of the tire at it's widest point does not match the width at the bead, where it seats on the rim. There's a significant depth in the one tire that I have dismounted in the 20 inch size. Features such as rim flange protection can make slight variation on actual width as well. The tire manufacturer sets safe/proper wheel width. They are mostly the same across the same tire size.

Yes, I get that. But nearly 2" worth? That one chart is specifically tire width to wheel width, with min and max. Not trying to argue. But not sure I'd trust it just because.

Even looking at the P-Zero tire specs they recommend an 11-12" wheel for a 315/22 (from Tirerack's website)
