After a long debacle regarding a warrenty situation on my Cayenne Diesel, I am looking again at new options...

I have a set of 255/55/18 Wheels (Cayenne S III) which I just put on brand new Nokian Winter tires, I was hoping to use it with the Turbo Model as well. Any ideas if this size of wheel will clear the calipers?

Thanks for any support or input!

 

nope

 

Thanks... didn't think so but was curious... Looks like I am going to be doing some work selling wheels!

 

I learned the hard way on my CTT... they clear the back, but not the front. 19" wheels minimum on the Turbo.

 

Thanks TV, really appreciate the response.

I swear I have sold like 5 sets of wheels over the last 6 months... I should just open up a shop at this rate!! Ha ha

 

Where are you located Neil?

 

Hey Deilenberger - I am located in Alberta, Canada.

 

Ah - a bit far to get my unused (and basically new) winter tires/rims to.. I'm trying to decide what to do with them since NJ has now changed to a new climate model - no snow. I put on the Michelin magic AS tires on the 21" rims and they are quite satisfactory. The others are sitting in my garage, providing a platform for my newspaper recycling.

 

Thanks for the consideration sir! So interestingly enough, the car I am looking at comes with 21" winters... but I don't really want to run a 21" set up on the car (Tires are too expensive and I prefer the ride of 19's or 20's)

 

The winters I have are 19" on Porsche rims. The 19" rim JUST clears the brake calipers. A thick wheel-balance weight in the wrong spot wouldn't last long with them. The ride on the 21" all-season Michelins is actually quite good. Much better than the dedicated summer Nokia tires I had before (never ever get Nokia summer tires - they were simply awful.)
