Agreed.
Which I suppose the Carrera has 19/20s and the best ride/handling out of the lot.
Porsche thought it was the best option for their car.

Farmlyf

Yeah right .... good on yah 👍

rumnyc

however they did think 20/21 is the the best option on their S cars....

I think that's kinda my point, it's a sports car. If you want huge wheels on a car that will both make it look and ride worse, buy a truck.

24 rear and 23 front is the way to go.................super rare

Farmlyf

Your point is that you are also a Fwit? 😂 Hahaha it was a simple question about the possibility of increasing the factory standard 20”/21” by 1”....now it’s a truck comparison...good amount of retarded people on here aye....Back to your corner mate lol 😆

Farmlyf

You sound like a rare breed yourself mate 😂

Farmlyf

It may not ride well or be very practical but guys C’mon...You got to admit...that is a thing of beauty 😍

OEM wheels are all cast aluminum except the 20/21 Sport Design option which is forged. I would then bet your HRE LW wheels will be lighter.

Is an HRE 22inch rim too big, yes, it is. Is the OEM 21inch rim too big, also yes. They definitely did not have to put 21s on a f-ing base Carrera, did they.

OP is being ridiculed for 22's and ruining the diamond that die Ingenieuren aus Stuttgart carved out so precisely, while those who put spacers and aftermarket springs get compliments on their car. Even the slightest spacer ever changes the whole geometry of the suspension, you know. OEMs engineer a car to be the best compromise while adhering to many, many rules, budgets, customers' expectations, etc. This doesn't mean it is the absolute best they could do, ever.

HRE is one of the best on the market, so if you're gonna do it, do it the best way and shed some weight while you're at it. Try to keep the overall diameter and ratio between front and rear as close to original as possible. And Tires are also important so put some PS4S if they make them in this fit.

Post pics once the car is done.

Very nice! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!!

265/30/21 and 335/25/22 for Turbo S

Yeah and the car will be slower and perform worse overall.

Not all of us who are not fans of the chariot sized wheels are pensioners. Some of us are track rats and driving enthusiasts who buy these cars for the driving experience, not for posing.

Aside from diminished comfort due to added mass and low profiles, there's other factors. An added diameter will make the car slower and less responsive. Less choice for good shoes. Aggressive offsets which might wear out bearings and other suspension components, not to mention potential side effects such as understeer, bump steer, tramlinjng, and an overall lack of grip. Then there's the obvious issue of the 911 being a bit of a Hector with stiff suspension. At some point you WILL learn what the term "taco'ing a wheel" means.

If you REALLY like the chariot sized wheel look, more power to you. But please dob't ever tell people that the only side effect is slihtly less comfort. The car WILL feel and drive different and performance will nkt be increased, especially if you opt for super wide 335/25R22 rears which some do. That setup will understeer all the way into next week, if the tramlining hasn't landed you in a ditch first.

Il CP

Does not work if you ask me. Especially the rears look odd. Cartoonish.

Optimal for who? And if this is true, why does porsche continue to increase their wheel size ever generation? Did they not know about optimal wheel sizes before? I’m sorry but dogma is a poor argument.

PSPorsche

The car and wheels are designed together. Larger diameter wheels allow the engineers to place more of the vehicle’s mass below the centerline of the wheels to improve stability and handling.
