Macan rim selection

Hi all,


Help me select a new set of wheels to upgrade my stock 18 macan rims.


Is there some place online where I can look at the rims in closer detail & 3D photos? I really like the Porsche 3D look, like those wheels that curve inward toward the center cap.



You can't really tell by looking from the car's profile, you kinda have to view it from an angle...


any suggestions?

If you’re looking for aftermarket wheels, tirerack.com has online vehicle wheel view, where you can select car, color and any wheels to see how they look on your car.

I have the 19" Macan Design wheels on my S and while I am pleased with the look they are a major pain to keep clean. The 18 inch Cayman S wheels on my '08 Cayman are so good looking and so easy to clean some day I would like to have something similar on the Macan. Looking at Tire Rack I like the 19" Savini Black Di Forza in Gloss Black. Look very easy to keep clean and not show so much brake dust.

Its all a personal choice really. I have 19's on my Macan S and hate the small size vs the huge wheel opening on these cars. I thought id be happy after lowering but now it bugs me even more. These cars should really come with 20-21" stock, anything smaller just seems off in my opinion

Let me tell you that the spyder design 20"s look small too. Imo 21" is the sweet spot on the macans and the wheel openings.

Hello everyone. I need some help from you guys. I’m in Alberta and currently doing some shopping for winter tires and wheels. There’s so much information on here so thank you all for this. It’s amazing reading up on all of it and doing research. I have a question and hoping I get an answer. I’m looking to buy the GT Radial Champiro Icepro winter tires for my 2018 Porsche Macan. I only drive a few times a week so not that much. I’m sticking to18inches with 235/60R18XL and 255/55R18XL I found wheels with bolt pattern 5 X 112, wheel diameter 18, width 8 and 9 for front rear, bore size 66.5, offset 21. I found all this information and dimension details on http://wheel-size.com/size/Porsche/Macan/2018 since I’m such a novice to all of this, do I also need to buy centric hub rings kit + lug bolt kits + lug nut kits? Please help me.. I feel so lost, confused and overwhelmed and I just want to buy winter tires and rims for the upcoming winter. Im in Alberta, Canada and winter is around the corner. I can’t seem to find specific information. Thanks guys.

18" winter package from Porsche is about $3500, it might be not that much more expensive than aftermarket rims, TPMS sensors and Porsche spec tires.
Anyway, try to find aftermarket rims that fit Macan perfectly without hubcentric rings, etc, then you don't need any additional hardware, everything will be reused from your OEM rims.
Did you check with your local popular tire places - they will be able to build you a set that fits perfectly.

Thanks for responding. I called a few but they weren’t really helpful. I’ll keep calling and go in this time. I read on here that a lot of Macan owners didn’t get the factory recommended from Porsche as it’s $3,556 ( https://porschecentrecalgary.com/pa...BRBLEiwAcMapUbzRUVIaa8WVdAhVG9ywdoVxpmlahJNGGJFZ5PQBCwdkAunl8P5TnBoCCeAQAvD_BwE) not sure if that includes everything so I’m just on here to find a cheaper alternative.

The winter sets from Porsche include everything - OEM rims, OEM TPMS sensors and Porsche spec tires, and they would often offer you a free storage for one season.
If you don't mind your wheels shipped to you you can build a set on TireRack or 1010tires.
Good luck!

You’re a gem! I’ll be placing my order via 1010tires. They mount for you and I’ll just have to pay for install. They can also ship it to one of their many partners in town they work with. It’s great!! Thank you!!

You are welcome! What rims, tires and TPMS sesnsors did you get?

Sorry I don’t understand your comment. I believe they’re different rims and tires. There’s an option to see what they’ll look like on the vehicle and it looks nothing like the factory ones the Macan came with.

Sorry, my mistake - you ordered a 18" square setup (all wheels are identical).
Porsche winter setups are staggered (rear wheels are wider than fronts).
Did you order TPMS sensors?

It comes with a free mounting and hunter road force balance, TPMS ITM UNI-Sensor for European cars, wheel locks (bolts), wheel installation kit (bolts), the front are 18 X 8 and rear 18 X 9.
