Will Cayenne rims fit?
Traded in a 2006 Cayenne Turbo for a 2010 Panamera 4S yesterday. I have a spare set of 18" rims for the Cayenne that I kept and am wondering if they will fit on the Panamera?

2006 Cayenne 18" rims are 8 x 18 ET49. Meaning they're 8" wide, 18" in diameter, and have a 49mm offset from the center of the wheel to the hub. That is, the hub is 49mm more distant from the car body than the centerline of the wheel.
2010 Panamera 18" rims are 8 x 18 ET 52 front, 10 x 18 ET52 rear. The wheels are the same width in front, slightly wider in the rear. The hubs are very, very close in offset, just 3mm further out. The outside of the Cayenee wheels will be 3mm further out in front than the Panamera 18" wheels. In the rear, the Panamera wheels are much wider, and thus there's plenty of room.
The widest stock wheels are 9.5 x 20 ET52 front, 11 x 20 ET52 rear. Which means they protrude (9.5 - 8) / 2 = 0.75 inches = 19mm more than the 18" Panamera wheels. Rather more than the Cayenne wheels.
The other consideration is brake caliper size. That could conceivably be an issue, if the Panamera brakes are thicker than the Cayenne's. Wheel offset hints at this, but isn't definitive, since this depends on the shape of the wheel beyond the lugs, which isn't in the wheel measurements.
