Default Cayenne 957 GTS 21" Wheel Offset??

Does anyone happen to know the offset on the OEM GTS 21" wheels?

I'm looking to get some used OEM 18"s or 19"s for winter use and want to make sure I'm going to clear the calipers. Yeah, I know I'm ahead of the game, but if the right wheels for the right price come along I want to just grab them.

The offset is different front and rear. I believe the offsets are 50 front and 45 rear. The rear offset does not clear the front calipers.

Oh, no kidding, I wasn't expecting that. I just assumed all four corners where the same, like my old 955 CTT 20's.

This is VERY helpful! Thank you.

The offsets for the standard 10" wide Sport 21" wheel are 50 mm front & back. The SportDesign 21" can be had with both 45mm and 50 mm offsets.

I've done tires on at least 3 GTSs, and they all had different offsets front to rear on the stock wheels. My service manager did one on a Saturday when I was off, and tried putting a rear wheel on the front of the car, but couldn't get it tightened down all the way. Easy way to check with your vehicle: The offset is stamped on the wheel, right below the valve stem.

Resurrecting an old thread, as looking for new winter rims for my 957 turbo. My summer tires are on 21 inch SportDesign rims, offset 50 front and 45 rear.
I have found similar rims, but all 4 will have the 50 offset, -Kita- LegeArtis PR7 MB.

So my question is, will it be fine to have 50 offset rims on the rear instead of 45 ?

Thanks,

Thanks,
Almost all Cayennes with 21" wheels run a square setup with 295/35-21 tires on 21"x10" et50 wheels. I think there was only one year where the offsets were staggered and you must have it.

Though I've changed my wheels on my widebody Cayenne to 22"x12" all have the same offset and so did my 09 Turbo S OEM wheels.

You will be fine running all 4 wheels with an offset of 50.

However, following that link, that is a very inexpensive wheel, which tells me it is probably just a cast wheel and myl not even be low pressure cast. My concern would be how strong and capable it is to support the forces generated by a 6,000 lb Cayenne with a pretty big contact patch.

You should contact the manufacturer or dealer a d find out the load rating of the wheel and being outside the US whether it has TUV approval.
