Well done HOiYA.....do you remember the offset on those wheels ? To me, it looks like they could be pushed out just a bit more....but maybe its the angle, nonetheless, they are stunning. Congrats.
The offset is ET55. They could be pushed out more, but the wheels were made assuming that I would be lowering the car via a lowering module. I have the Techart module on order. Apparently it is being shipped (slowly) from Germany.

Ok having had the wheels for a while I have been pondering this too. When I ordered the wheels, they were spec'd under the assumption that I would be installing a lowering module. I've been trying to wrap my head around how that would affect the fender gap, but with no luck. Can someone explain to me how lowering the car would affect the space between the wheel and out fender?
Got some pix of mine with the 22's...also an ecu tune and new sport pedals. thanks to Matchbook Photogrpahy for the beauty and action shots! http://instagram.com/mtchbk

If I understand your question correctly, the offsets may have been slightly less than 'flush' since they were accommodating for the prospect of lowering and 'potential' need for clearance for your fender. My offsets were 45 (for 22x10.5 wheels) and IMO look perfect , I think you said yours were 55?.......not sure what the 'flush' off set would befor 22x10 wheels, but this link would allow you to determine 'flush'. On the other hand, if your lowering more than what your pics show already, then you may need that 'fender clearance offset'. If this is not the correct read on your comments, then too late....its already typed....
Lionworks........thanks for the pics, just shows how great the 22's are on these 955's ! Congrats. FWIW, when I lowered mine with the durametric I decided to give it a 5mm rake differential....5mm higher in the front that is, personally, I think I like the tiny bit of reverse? rake. BTW, you really have that slammed down in a couple of those pics....cool !

Thanks! Yes, I prefer a more forward, aggressive stance...send pix of your take
Do you have any shots from the behind and rear quarter panel?
Surface area was a tad uneven for these pics.
Pretty clear from these shots that the tires are actually not quite wide enough for the 10.5 inch wheels.....hence, will be loading up some 305x35x22's on her soon. I must say, for some reason, pictures DO NOT do Cayenne's justice.......when you see them in person, they are just stunning machines.
I read somewhere, that the front will stick out a tad more then the rears....and they do, but it looks good.

Thanks for the pics. The front will appear to stick out more because of the way the fender wraps around on the front.
I slapped on my 5mm spacers, mostly because I had them and my current bolts were long enough for them. Still seems they can be pushed out a bit more. From what I've been reading, lowering the car (and getting an alignment) will help with the wheel being flushed. I guess I'll wait to get the lowering module installed and then decide what to do next.
