Haven’t been too successful in searching out an answer, but I have a set of Vredestein winter tires in size 255/45R20.

i know the Macan has staggered wheel sizes, but any idea if I can make these work? Happy to buy a set of wheels from tire rack, just need to know if I could do something that wasn’t staggered and what the offset needs to be.

If nothing would easily work, then I’ll just sell them and look for a new set…


thanks!

I run a square winter setup with the 265/45/20, not a problem to do that & the 255 would just be a bit smaller, not a big deal.

for reference…

there’s also a wheel offset calculator in the menu.

Generally speaking, the manufacturer sets up the suspension and safety systems to a specific tire diameter. So, if your desired tire/wheel combination doesn't vary more than +/- 1 to 2% of the OEM diameter you should be okay.

255/45/20 is the size I am running up front on the 9" wheel and it fits great, better the stock 265/45/20. The overall diameter of 29.1" is an OE diameter for the front 18" wheel size and the rear 21" wheel size, no issues there.

It will be too much of a stretched sidewall on the rear 10" wheel though. I wouldn't advise running a 255/45 on the rear. 285/40/20 is the correct rear size to match 255/45/20 up front.
