2004 Cayenne Turbo installing 19'Rims
Help!!!! I have a 2004 Cayenne Turbo with 20s and came stock with the truck. I just bought a set of 19x11 rears and 19x8 1/2 fronts. I was told they would fit and i did try them on the truck to make sure i had clearance and they did not hit the calipers or the firewalls. My question is can anyone tell me if their running staggered tires and are the running 11's in the rear? What size tires will i need to match the fronts to make the all wheel drive match? Can this be done or did i just waste a bunch of cash. I called tire rack and the couldn't recommend a tire to match the front and rear in all season tires. please if you have any help on the size or brand that will match to make this work, I thought it would look nice with a wide tire on the back... Joe

Thats my question, If i put them on my 2004 Cayenne what size tired will i have to get to look nice and ride nice also? The prrson i bought them from had it on his 997 but said it will also fit on my truck? I also have a 2004 996 but im being told to not run 19s on the car cause 18s perform much better. Im trying to make it work on my Cayenne if possible.

I was confused since, while the bolt pattern is the same, I assumed wheels made for the Cayenne would have a different load rating than Carrera wheels. The 11 inch rim might fit on the rear but a 10 inch rim is the maximum recommended by Porsche.
As far as ride quality, 19's will work just fine. It would be a lot better than the 20's.
For tire specs, the upper limit for a 8.5 x 19 is 255/45R19. The minimum limit for a 11 x 19 is 275/45R19. So there's no way to get back to square.
It sounds like trying to make these work would be a waste of cash. There is a healthy market for OEM 997 wheels. Lots of drivers want an extra set for track or winter use. Not the answer you want to hear but better to sell the Carrera wheels and pick up a set of 9 x 19's for the Cayenne.
