Looking at a 2014 Cayenne Diesel with 19 inch wheels and as far as I can tell factory RED calipers.
I'm thinking of getting stock 18 inch rims from a 2011 to run snow/offroad tires.

Are the disks with the red calipers the same diameter as the black ones so the 18's will fit OK?

Is it a V6 diesel? Those never came with any other brakes besides the standard black. I don't
Even think you could option PCCB. Someone painted those, and they are almost certainly the standard brakes. So should fit any of the tires.

Yes, normal 3.0 liter US version.
If they were painted by a previous owner, somebody did a great job.

If you are interested in 18 inch wheels take a look at my ad on this site. I have a set of 18 inch wheels that came from a 2015 base Cayenne that had few miles on them. Mine now have snow tires and I no longer need them. The person I bought the wheels from upgraded to 19 inch wheels or fancier wheels. Mine are in excellent condition.

Thanks reneeweiss, but I got a nice set of 18s that unexpectedly came with good Michelin tires for a ridiculous price yesterday - probably less than the cost of shipping yours from the west coast to NYC. Seller had a very small NYC garage and needed them gone.

Sounds good, thanks for looking at mine. You will have to make an adjustment for the TPMS when you put the new wheels on- it's pretty simple on the system through the steering wheel. The speedometer may be off some too. My speedometer shows 3 miles faster than the actual speed. I've checked it with my radar detector and with roadside speed indicator radar. I mentioned it to the dealer tech advisor and he told me, 'in Germany they are strict with speed limits so Porsche makes the speedometer show faster than the actual speed to avoid speeding tickets' It sounded pretty weird. My hunch is that perhaps I need to set the system for 19 inch wheels rather than 18 but I haven't tried that. I think it keeps my brain active having to remember that the speed is 3 miles slower than what the speedometer or cruise control indicates. A small problem!

red calipers have a different disc design. when you look through the wheels the disc will have circles cut out around the hub, like this: https://www.europaparts.com/brake-ro...835140350.html

if the disc doesnt look like that then the car has either factory black or silver calipers and 18s will fit over those.

For what its worth, its pretty easy to get a "factory finish" on calipers. Here's my turbo brakes, painted burnt orange on a CS. you can see the brake hub circles that I was talking about
