Let's see some of YOUR favs. I think the optimum wheel size for the Macan is 21" at most... 20 or 21's would look perfect, whereas 22 would probably be a bit too big.
Here are some rims I like & some websites of some good companies. Feel free to click the links below & enter the subcategories then save & post any pics of rims you think would look good on the Macan!
edit-Forget the colour of the rim in the picture. ALL rims come in silver, black, and chrome. Just looking for the actual style of the rim. Personally, I'm looking for black rims for my white Macan & any rim that is in silver below also comes in black which is great. I just posted a bunch of different options.

Will these in 20 x 10 fit?
Can't say for sure just looking at their website. The standard Porsche bolt pattern is 5x130mm. The Macan is the exception, however, using the 5x112mm bolt pattern borrowed from the Audi Q5.

If you're serious, I suggest you contact Avant Garde and see if that style can be made for the Macan bolt pattern and offset. If you want to stay with the original Macan spec, you'll want 20"x 9" ET26 for the front, and 20"x 10" ET19 for the rear.....with the 5x112mm bolt pattern.

Well it's taken me just about a year of ownership, but what I would call my first true "modification" happened today...new summer wheels/tires.

I know Work wheels are likely unfamiliar to a lot of people here, but I've been an admirer of their fantastic quality (as with other Japanese brands such as Rays, Advan etc) for a long while, especially given their relative value. In my opinion at least, the typical quality of say a Work or Rays wheel exceeds that of the likes of HRE...just my opinion of course.

These pictured are Work Gnosis GR202, in a finish which is very difficult to capture. It's NOT chrome I assure you, depending on the light the centres look anything from dark gunmetal to a polished aluminum.
Sizing is 21"x9.5" +18 offset fronts with 21"x10.5" +12 offset rears. Stock 265/40 and 295/35 tire sizes.

A few less than stellar pictures taken with the phone prior to the rain coming down. I know wheels are a very personal thing taste wise, but I'm really very happy with the way these have turned out. I may well lower the vehicle about an inch from the current "low" setting, and I have the plastic splash guards which come with 20's/21's to go on this weekend.

I love those Japanese brands. They make quality wheels and don't look cheap IMO. Looks nice.

Work wheels are popular on Lexus. Here are some pics of those wheels on the SC430 (not into the slammed look though).

Work wheels are popular with a lot of the Japanese brands really, just maybe not quite as much in North America.

Those wheels on the SC430 are Trafficstar RTS By the way. Another decent if not slightly more obscure Japanese brand for sure though as the parent company is/was Riverside. They were sold as Maya wheels in NA, but I think Riverside went bust a couple of years back now.

@MDJAK, I got a combination of a "mate's rate" and a Tokyo Autosalon wheel release promotion...in other words I got them for a relative steal at less than $3500. That said, I think @bobblehead is likely pretty close and you'd be looking at between $4250 - $4750 depending on who you deal with and what finish you go with etc.

I have no affiliation with them whatsoever, but I've seen a lot of nice Japanese wheels coming out of a dealer called Ravspec in NY.

Just got these on today. Haven't had a chance to wash the car and take some better pictures so these iPhone pictures will have to do for now. I'll probably wait until I get my H&R springs on to do a better photo shoot.

Specs:
Vossen CV4
22x10.5 et30 all around
15mm spacer on the rears
295/30 Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico tires
Custom Matte Bronze powder coating

It takes a brave man to run a 30 profile tire in Edmonton! :eek:
Looks good though :)

Looking at where mine ended up, I'm pretty confident you could fit the new X5M/X6M staggered sizing of 285/35-21 and 325/30-21 without too many issues, although that is a little shorter than the stock sizing.

@Enilder I popped out and took a side shot for ya. Sorry the lighting wasn't the greatest. I bet with the right offset/rim width combo you could probably fit a 315 on the back. There is still quite a bit of room in there to work with.

Those look fantastic. Did you get those in town or online? My Macan arrives in Aug. and would like to get some new wheels for it. I'm not brave enough to go with 22s though.
 
#258 ·
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.

I saw those wheels on tirerack. They are quite light at ~24 lbs each for 20" wheels.

They look good on the Macan. Are you using a square setup?

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.

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.
 
#271 ·
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.
