Sorry to revive an old thread.

I have a 2018 Cayenne on steel springs (no air).

Can I fit 265/65/18 without a lift? Has anyone fit these on a gen 2 without air and without a lift?

Thanks!!

Do you mean 2008, not 2018? A 2018 is a 958 and there's a separate discussion area for those models.

If you have a 957 (2008–2010), I sort of have an answer.
I have a 955 with steel springs and no lift, and have 265/70/17 tires fitted. According to a tire size calculator, 265/65/18 and 265/70/17 are the exact same overall height (31.6") and width (10.4"), just the 17s have a taller sidewall (which is why I picked that size). From my understanding, there were no changes between the 955 and 957 models that should impact tire fitment. Turbos have less clearance, but I think air suspension was standard so if we're talking about steel springs, we're not talking Turbos.

HI, can I ask about your wheels set up? I can't seem to find these OZ rally wheels in the Porsche bolt pattern, are you using an adaptor and running VW bolt pattern wheels? Thanks

Just purchased the 3" eurowise lift for my 2009 GTS. I plan to go either for a 265/70/18 or do the rocker panel weld in plate and squeeze a 33x12.50. Thinking Wildpeak AT4's for quiet street ride and good offroad performance. Eurowise has been great to work with. All the items I ordered below if someone wants to reference.

BAJA DESIGNS: XL SPORT PAIR DRIVING/COMBO LED - CLEAR × 1

ADD Tubular Upper Control Arms. Let's get my alignment dialed in perfect.

Love it!!!

Looks great! Where did you get the Porsche scrip?

That'll be a sweet setup. Can't wait to see the pics when complete!

I have the 3" lift for my 2010 GTS. I'm running 275/65R18's. I have very minimal rubbing on the rears of the front. But not enough to go through the expense of the weld plate.
I eventually want to get the Eurowise roof rack, and front and rear tubular bumpers. But I may need to win the lottery first! Being in Canada... the exchange, shipping, and duties basically double the listed prices they offer. It would almost be less expensive to drive down, get it installed... and drive home!

MattDFW

that’s awesome! The 275/65 seems like the tire to go with.

@Rvca3112 Wanted to bump this as I had the same question. Also wondering if you have to reshape any plastic to prevent rubbing. Love the look so much! Thanks in advance for the info.

I remember seeing another 957 with these wheels where it was stated that the wheels have BMW bolt patterns and fitted with adaptors.

hey guys, sorry for the delay. they utilize a adapter. they can be purchased at eurowise website

Bomba

Eurowise sold them at one point in time, but I don't see them on the website anymore.

What were the specs of your adapter and the offset of your rims? It seems like the smallest adapter that I've been able to find is 15mm and that 15mm when added to the wheel offset puts things way out of whack and would likely cause rubbing.

In my case with a CTT with rear air, rubbing is "no bueno". I mean, I can relocate the intercoolers but knocking out the A/C when living in Florida is not something I want to do.
