Picked up my new GTS back in June and ordered the car with the five lug Carrera S wheels to become my winter set when the time arrives.
I'm looking to buy a new set of wheels for summer and want to know what people think of going up to a 21" combination??
My choices are I can reuse my summer tires and put them onto a set of wheels that are 20x9" and 20x11.5" or I can go up to 21x9.5" and 21x12.5" with 255/30R21 and 325/25R21, which my local tuner shop is offering as fitting with no rubbing issues.
Currently HRE P101 in Satin Charcoal are the wheels of choice.
Here's a picture of my car to offer perspective.
Exactly what I did. I put Michelin Alpins on OEM like yours (had them painted black) and got a set of 20" P101 in satin black. Great wheels . Finish is incredible. To me, 21" sidewalls look too small. Prefer 19 over 21.
Nice car! We have same calipper and seatbelt combination. I peferfer the look of 20" but a lokal guy has 21" Techart and they look very nice. He loves the ride on them on.
I personal would prefer 19” with beefier tires over current 20 and definitely would never do 21 on these cars. The skinny tire sidewall you’ll need for 21’s decreases car performance and to me looks stupid.
We get this question from customers very often and the simplest way you can break it down is this: do you think 21's look better on your car than 20's do? If so, are you ok with trading some ride comfort for the better looks? If both answers are yes then 21's are right for you. If you answer either question with a no then the 20's should be your choice.
As the largest dealer in the world for custom forged wheels we've photographed dozens of 991's over the years (some with 20's and some with 21's). It might be worth looking at our extensive 991 gallery to see if there is a specific setup that you'd like to replicate and we can get it done for you while also saving you hard earned cash - http://wheelsboutique.com/gallery/po...s/porsche-991/
Does anyone go 21 on the rear and 20 in the front like the RS models? I have a narrow body and am wondering if there is a downside to this?
As a fellow 21’ wheel owner I have had 20’and 21’ wheel ride quality does not change at all. My 991 is not my everyday car so maybe that changes my look of things overall my opinion 21’ look way better then 20

What is your tire set up and what suspension are you on? Can you post pics?
