Anyone running 22" wheels on their 958.2 Cayenne? Pictures? Tire Size? Will Cayenne computer allow you to change the aspect ratio so that speedo and odometer read accurately?

Cheers,

I've been inside the dash coding didn't see 22" in there. Meanwhile changing directly on the dash isn't an option. A few guys mentioned having 22" on here.

i run 22"s in the summer. they are great for those with air suspension. i set my settings to 21". my spedo is always about 5mph off no matter what sie wheel, same as most others cayennes.

The 958.2 that I got in July came with 22" ebay wheels. Tires are 295/35 I think. You cannot choose 22" from the controls. It was set to 21".

I hated the wheels. Ride was horrible. Part of this was tires (they were some no name tire), but with that little sidewall on such a heavy car, there is no way you do not feel everything. You are also always worried you are going to bend a rim with every pothole you hit.

Got a set of 19" Turbo wheels and could not be happier.

I have 21" wheels on my '16 GTS and as much as I'd love the look of a bigger wheel, I can't fathom any further sacrifices in ride quality. Maybe it's a bit better on models without the sport suspension, but there's no way I'd want to feel any more of the road.

Don't do the 22's they will hinder the performance of the car and the ride quality, oh what ride quality.

RGTorque

again, after riding on 18"s, 19"s, 21's, and now on 22"s with air suspension the ride quality is stellar.

Assuming same rolling size for the 22’s I cannot fathom how you can say this. I’ve driven 19, 20 and 21s on the 957 and 958 platform and I can tell the difference between all three with air and steel suspension. IMHO if you could get 295 on the stock 20 inch rims and maintain the right rolling size that would be my choice for handling and ride comfort compromise. For ride quality the smaller wheels are far better. 22s on the 958 do look great but unless you live somewhere that paves it’s roads every 6 months the ride will be poorer than a smaller wheel.
obviously wheel choice is a personal matter. If you like your 22 rims then that’s great but they are not for me.

I have these oe 22"s which I love dearly
Fronts 10x22 et48 285/35/22
Rear 11.5x22 et61 315/30/22

perhaps this tire size i use is more comfortable? i agree the ride is a bit firmer but i find it comfortable enough.

Try and stay at or near 30” overall diameter to ensure no rubbing.

I'm running 22x10 et50 Victor Equipment Zehn with 285/35/22 Conti DWS on my Diesel and have no problem with the ride, although all of my cars have been lowered on big wheels for the last 15 years or so. I'm getting ready to install Bilstein B6 with H&R springs as well. I'm in Colorado and go up to the mountains a lot and would glady trade a firm ride over body roll and sidewall flex when doing 75 mph on I70. Tires make a difference too, we had a Q7 diesel on OEM 21's and when I switched from the OEM Dunlops to the Conti DWS, it drove like a totally different vehicle, for the better, which is why I went with them on my CD. My speedo is off by 2 mph and there is no rubbing.

Certainly looks great. Can’t see me rolling such a narrow sidewall in the Northeast without suffering handling and comfort issues. I’ve had slammed Audis so I hear you on the experience. I’d counter that more sidewall does not impact body roll unless you get down to 18 or 19s in my experience. Your car your choice.

Agree on tires. I don’t have experience of the Contis but I do like the Michelin Pilot 4s on the platform. Dislike Pirelli P0…
Can you let me know what about the Contis you like? Need the change my summers over next spring and keen to understand the options available…

Vegas993

Yes, body roll and sidewall flex are two different things, I didn't relate them in my comment. As far as handling goes, traveling at speed in the mountains, it feels planted and confident. I expect the Bilstein/H&R's to improve upon that by eliminating much of the body roll. They should have made them all the same ride height as the GTS IMO.

I like the Contis because they are smooth, quiet, wear well and they do well in snow. Just a great overall tire. I've had them on three vehicles.

Vegas993

I got my Bilstein B6 and H&R Springs installed and am very happy with the results. Aesthetically, getting rid of the massive wheel gap up front is the biggest improvement. I would say it now sits like a GTS on the lowest setting. The arch extensions are currently on backorder but I intend to add those eventually.

As for the ride, it's definitely more firm than the 82k mile OEM stuff I took off but it's hardly noticeable on smooth roads. You do feel cracks and imperfections a bit more but it's definitely not bouncy. To me a bouncy suspension is one that continues to rock after hitting a bump and there is absolutely none of that and as expected, the flatter cornering is a great improvement. Overall it feels more sporty which in my opinion is an improvement over the stock steel stuff.

Thx Guys. Coming back around on this one... I'd like to run 22". Also want to close that huge gap between tire and fender... hoping to avoid lowering the car (suspension mods) as opposed to increase the overall diameter of tire/wheel. I have standard Cayenne S suspension, and would prefer to leave it stock... so...

I found an aftermarket rim 22" x 10" ET50 that I like. Wheel manufacturer advised running 295/30/22 (overall diameter 28.96850394")... but I'd really like to run 295/35/22 (overall diameter = 30.12992126").

Anyone know if I can run the 295/35/22 tires with the 22" x 10" ET50 rim and still clear without rubbing? I've analyzed this thing so much my head is spinning! A few pix of upper control arm and knuckle have me concerned that there's not a lot of room to play with here. I have the stock 20" RS Spyder wheels (9 x 20 RO 57 with 275/45/20 tires) on the vehicle now (pictured).
