20x10 fits, and the tire width you pick can be dependant on the offset available for the wheel you like.

My wife and I both like the handling of our winters better than the oem summers. Sounds crazy but, Less floaty feeling, and quicker response.

The sidewalls must be stiffer on the wintersport 3ds. They are much lighter with a bit more track width.

Narrow tires (front) give a quicker/nimbler steering feeling due to less friction between the tire and ground thus easier to steer.

Wider tires make the car feel more floaty because they have more contact patch with the road surface (more distribution of car's weight over a larger contact surface). The same reason you never feel a bicycle floaty, but it obviously has way less traction than a car.

Finally, I got the wheel installed.
Rims: OZ Racing Leggera HLT 20x10 et25
Tires: pirelli p zero 275/40r20

No staggered set up???

Great looking wheels.

The rears are tucked pretty far. You could consider some H and R DRA 20mm spacers for the rear. They bolt to the hub and then the rim bolts to the spacer.

The fronts look pretty spot on.

You can see the difference the same 275 tire makes with a 40 vs. a 45 profile in the fender gaps. The et on this set is 23 front, 4 rear. The OZ et25 is perfect on the fronts for a 275 tire.

The 40 series lowered the Macan more, but increased fast reading speedometer error.

Yes, it is a square set up, 275/40R20 with about 36psi tire pressure all around. The car handles pretty neutral so far. But, I do not think I had pushed the car to its limit yet.


Thanks LOU for the suggestions and the help in the beginning. Yes, the fronts are spot on. The rears need to be spaced out a bit. I ordered the H&R 25mm spacers for the rears and should arrive here next week. And, Yes, the wheel gaps are a little large to my like. But, 275/45R20 tires I wanted were on back order and substantially more expensive. I am looking at ordering some lowering springs from Eibach to close the gap somewhat, but I have not pulled the trigger yet.


Anyway, I am pretty happy with the set up. The car handles nicely, like being on trails. It would be scary trying to push the limit on street now.


BTW, the rims are 25lbs each, with tires 60lbs. In comparison, the stock 18inch front rim with winter tire is 50lbs and stock 18inch rear is 55lbs.

After reading all the posts regarding wheel and tire options for my Macan Turbo I came up with the following wheel tire combos:

Rear options:

Tire Wheel Speed Suspension Fenders Wheelwell

1. 325/35/20 20x11 et 28 59.6 24mm in 6mm out clear

2. 315/35/20 20x11 et 28 59.1 19mm in 0mm out clear

3. 325/35/20 20x10.5 et 25 59.6 21mm in 9mm out clear

4. 315/35/20 20x10.5 et25 59.1 16mm in 4mm out clear

5. 325/35/20 20x10.5 et20 59.6 16mm in 14mm out clear

6. 315/35/20 20x10.5 et20 59.1 11mm in 9mm out clear

7. 325/30/21 21x10.5 et 17 59.1 13mm in 17mm out clear

I realize there are members on this forum with way more knowledge than me about what might work therefore I am seeking your advice. I didn’t include the front options because there was enough information on the forum to determine the appropriate combination for the fronts should any of the rear options work.

 

[bobblehead]

those are very aggressive rear setup proposal. I would think ideally would be #1 (as my choice). If you want to stick out even more after mounting them, then spacer can be used. But if you go too aggressive and don't look good, you cannot do anything about it.

You are right about going too aggressive. I was thinking #1 might be the best if I was set on the 325 tire and be able to get it where it needed to be with a spacer.

Going with #2 and the 315 tire might be more likely to not have rubbing issues and a spacer could be used to get the wheel where it needed to be.

I don't really want the tires poking out any more than necessary to keep from hitting the suspension.

The 10.5 rims are a little narrower than recommended for the 325 tire.

Thanks

Whew...read through 27 pages but don't see the answer to my question!!!

I see that 275/45/20 will fit.

Stock 20" staggered setup is 265/45/20 front and 295/40/20 rear.

I was wondering if anyone has tried running 265/50/20 front and 295/45/20 rear? I would plan on using the stock 20x9 et 26 and 20x10 et 19 sport design wheels. Do you think that there is enough room for this setup?

I know that the speedo reading will be off and that the overall circumference will be larger. I just don't like the look of large rims with short sidewalls that make the wheel fender gap look ridiculous. If anything, I want to get back to the way SUV tires used to look with taller sidewalls.

 

[L0U]

Yes they will work. You lose a half inch clearance on all surfaces inside the fender. Your speedometer will read slow by about 2 to 3km/hr.

I'm about clueless when it comes to wheels. Need to get a winter set of wheels/tires. Trying to figure out if I can get a set of wheels that are 19x8.5 et20 in the front and 19x9.5 et25 in the back. The tires I have looked at are pirelli scorpion winters and are 255/50/19 front and 285/45/19 back.

Any help that can be provided would be great.

Sure. your proposed spec is similar to what I have now (winter)

F: 19*8.5 +19 235/55/19 Pirelli Scorpion winter
R: 19*9.5 +15 255/50/19 same
5 x112 bolt pattern
66.56mm hub

btw, you do need 4 tpms as well.

Here are some pics of the wheels on my Macan turbo. The specs are:

BBS-CH-R wheels:

20x9 et 25 with 275/40/20 tires
20x10.5 et 25 with 315/35/20 tires


I have to thank all the members on here who provided me information and advice on what combinations of wheels, offsets and tires would work. I am not running any spacers and no issues.

Very nice! Is that a satin or semi-gloss finish?

That is a very nice looking setup. For simplicity's sake, I'm always happy to see when custom wheels are fitted without needing to resort to spacers. The combination of rims, tires, and lowering module gives the car a very unique and attractive stance. Clearly you did your homework, and were able to benefit from those who took the time to look under their cars and advise you on clearances. My hat's off to all of you.
Nicely done! Thanks for sharing with the group!!

GYD, did you get those BBS wheels thru Tire Rack and what tires did you buy. I was getting ready to order the same wheel.

I am not sure if they are satin, semi gloss or matte black, They are not gloss for sure. BBS calls them black, the have a little shine to them.

GYD, did you get those BBS wheels thru Tire Rack and what tires did you buy. I was getting ready to order the same wheel.

I did get everything through TireRack. It was very easy and quick. They called to make sure I was sure about the tire selection before they shipped them. This is second set of wheels and tires I have ordered from TireRack and always excellent service.

I bought the Continential Extreme Contact DW tires.

Total price with shipping was $4,423.04.

Hi,

I'm hoping to get some help with a second opinion.

I'm buying Forgestar F14 wheels for a Turbo winter setup. I'm going staggered with 19" wheels and 235/55/19 tires front, 255/50/19 tires rear.

To stay within tire specs on wheel width, I'm going 8.5" wheels front and 9" wheels rear. At my wheel sizes Forgestar offers a customized offset of 26 to 48 for the 8.5" and 12 to 55 for the 9". The dealer recommends going with 26 in the front and 12 in the rear. I am aware that OEM offsets are 21 front and rear.

The dealer is confident both offsets will work for the car. I'd like to ask members here with more experience around wheels, if you would have any concern about the aesthetics of using these offsets, and why are why not as they are pretty far apart. I would also be interested of course if anyone strongly disagrees that these offsets will work for the car.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

....I'm going 8.5" wheels front and 9" wheels rear. At my wheel sizes Forgestar offers a customized offset of 26 to 48 for the 8.5" and 12 to 55 for the 9". The dealer recommends going with 26 in the front and 12 in the rear. I am aware that OEM offsets are 21 front and rear.

Hey @RPJP , For the front, I agree that the minimum offset of 26 is the way to go. The rim will protrude 11mm inward, and 2 mm outward compared to a stock 19" rim. This is well within the range of where the stock 9" wide 20" rims sit....so there definitely won't be any clearance issues.

For the rear, since you are sticking with 9" wide rims (same as stock), I would recommend staying with the stock offset of 21. In your post, you mention an offset of 12....but I'm wondering if that was a transposition error either by the dealership, or a typo in your post. Regardless, go with a 21 offset in the rear, same as stock.

Someone with more winter driving experience than myself might want to comment on tire widths for snow tires. I am not sure whether there is an advantage to running staggered, or not.

Hope that helps. All the best!
