Default New rims and tires.

Added the Cayman sport wheels. 18 x 8 w/ 50ET fronts with 18 x 10 w/ 47ET rears. Thought I would share pics.

WOW!!! That is the first time that I have seen those wheels on an S-4. They look terrific. What brand of tire are on them, and what are the tire sizes Congratulations, your car looks SUPER

Thanks...the front is still setting high from being jacked up...should settle soon.The ride ( what little I have driven on the ) is stiffer than the 17" cup II's. I have Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports. 225/40r18 fronts and 265/35r18 rears.....I will go to 285/35r18 next time on rears.

Hi Ryan,
After checking the site I think you may be correct. The only STOCK Porsche made wheel like this I can find is a 19".

Dean, Is that the same 89 I drove when we stopped on our way back from SITM? It looks fantastic! What a difference the wheels make, I'm amazed. Great choice.
