19" wheels do they fit a Cayenne turbo S

[Monty2]

I think I need to place a call to an OPC but just in case anyone has gone down the second set of winter wheels/tyres route - does anyone know if the 19" by 9" Cayenne sport wheel fit the Cayenne Turbo S (2008/9) with the bigger brake calipers or does anyone have an extract from Porsche technical material mentioning the wheel size fitments for the Cayenne turbo S.

I'm interested in this particular size as have a set of nearly new Y rated snow and ice tyres that would fit 19" by 9" although not N rated they match the load and I won't be flinging the Cayenne around Silverstone over winter.

Thanks

18's are the smallest you can fit on S and Turbos ( they have the same callipers )

I know this as I've just bought 17Inch wheels for winter tyres and found they didn't fit on the front.

Question Paul,

Who doesn't allow us to fit non N rated tyres ?

Porsche Warranty ?
Insurance company ?

I'm trying to add Winter wheels and tyres but finding the cost and availability for N rated tyres eye watering to say the least so considering non N tyres.

I have called my insurance company ( swift cover.com ) but they have no idea what I'm talking about and simply say the tyres but be approved by the manufacture which I assume means no none N ?

Thanks

Hello Si, I think it would be only Porsche Warranty as there are many older Porsche running around on non N monikered tyres and I'm sure they wouldn't risk a non insurance payout. If the tyre size, speed and load rating equal Porsche manual tyre spec I would fit for sure.

For the Turbo S - you can only use the specially unique 20" wheels !
(assuming you want to stay OEM)
even the std Turbo fitment of the 20" Sport Techno wont fit

As you say - too big calipers

As David said, I might have given you diff information. TBF I didn't realise there was a Turbo and Turbo S.

What I can confirm for definite is that 17Inch wheels don't fit the Cayenne S and 18Inch wheels do. From what I've read if you have PCCB then this will also add size

Complicated :-(

I've now sourced some nice 19inch OEM wheels plus some non N Dunlop grandtrek WT M3 255/50/19 tyres.

I can say that 18" OEM wheels will only JUST fit on a new KN hybrid;
just squeezed my winter wheels on yesterday - can't remember how much clearance they had on my old Turbo (non 'S' variant) , but there aint much on the new one !

I'm now awaiting information back from Porsche GB, 19" Cayenne sport wheels have been initially quoted and 20" wheels minimum quoted for cars with ceramics.
