Default (Pictures) Cayenne GTS lowered on 22"

Changed to summer wheels and tires today. Also had the car lowered with lowering links.

BC Forged HCA 163, 11x22”
Pirelli P-Zero 315/30 R22 107Y XL
Coming from standard 21” wheels and all season tires the ride quality is amazing! Less road noise and less bumpy overall
Air suspension still works of course just is a bit lower than standard in every setting.

Very happy with the result!

Enjoy the pictures

They are now visible, no adblock issue. Regardless, I agree - looks great!

I'm not a huge fan of the lowered look, but that does look good. Any tire clearance issues?

No clearance issues whatsoever. The air suspension still works like before, so I can lift or lower the car as I like. The pictures are taken in the second lowest setting.
Bit surprised that 315's in the front don't cause any rubbing issues at all.

Does anyone here has spacers installed on their Cayenne? Would love to see how that looks like. Pushing out the rear wheels a tiny bit, might just gives the perfect stance.

Great! Do you have a picture of it? Did it change the ride quality at all?

Will take some today and post.
Honestly ride quality and handling seems better.
Now whether this is placebo or not I cannot say.

Hows the ride quality with the lowering links? Which company did you go with? Were the BC Forged custom made? What offsets did you go with? Just curious since you'd like the rears to be stanced out more, curious what you would have done differently. I have the same exact car as you (just the Turbo version), and I've been looking for a set of BC Forged to have made.

After driving it for a week now I gotta admit the ride quality is a bit more stiff but I am also driving in the lowest setting. I haven't played much with the lift in general and usually always drive in sport mode.
The wheels are not custom made per se, you can order them with any colour or finish you like. The delivery time is 4-6 weeks here in europe.
This car was my inspiration when I was looking for a perfect wheel and tire setup: https://bcforged-na.com/project/pors...mr-autowerkes/
Sort of wish I had gone with a different finish like the bronze one one above and would change the rear letttering to gold as well. Right now I have the lettering blacked out as well to match my overall colour scheme.
Hope that helps mate.

Very sexy, love the look, would say perfect.
I also drive on the lowest setting but sitting on 295 21's with no modifications to the suspension. I drive in comfort mode. Mine is a basic 3.0 Diesel S.
I also like the black centres.
I will post pics of mine if that is ok (will take some pics this weekend). Mine is all black, car & wheels but with coloured centre caps and colour crested dust caps.
I also recently had the brake calipers painted in Ferrari gold (not sure what the actual colour is called), originally I wanted a TVR colour like cascade copper but was advised against
it as the calipers are small and covered by the wheels, where as light is required for the colour to pop / stand out. I do like the end result in gold.
Yours does look much better than mine, clearly lower and a perfect fit / look. I have cheap tyres with a higher profile. I don't wish to do too much and don't wish to decrease
the ride comfort and never usually take it out of comfort mode. However when I look at your pictures it was well worth it and i'm now very tempted!! Especially as you say the ride has
not been adversely affected. Looks amazing, very impressed.

Can you post a picture from the back so I can see those fat tyres, if it is not too much to ask from the front also with the steering turned out.
How much did this set you back in total?
