Question about wheels
#1

My recently acquired '93 Cab came with 17 x 7 Cayenne wheels, front and back. I'm thinking of switching out to something with wider wheels in back as the car originally came. I was wondering if the following wheels would fit:

Turbo Twists:

Front: 7J X 17, Offset: 55, OEM P/N: 996.362.124.00

Rear: 9J X 17, Offset: 55, OEM P/N: 996.362.128.00


Opinions on switching vs. sticking with the Cayennes and other possible options would be greatly greatly appreciated.

wheels are a very commonly discussed topic - do a search here, using "more options" and you will find a number of threads on the subject, including a fitment chart, and the answers to what wheels fit, and what don't

I've looked around using the search feature, but have not been able to find a definitive answer. I'm also interested in others' opinions on running the Cayennes which I incorrectly described as 17 x 7. I believe they are actually 17 x 7.5. Is putting slightly larger tires (235s?) on the rear a decent option?

I have a Cayenne with the 17" wheels. The tires that come with them for a Cayenne are 235x65. The wheels are filled out well with 235s. You might find, however, that the Cayenne wheels are rather heavy compared to a car wheel. The finish is also not all that durable.

Yes they will fit fine. I have the same offsets on my 92 cab. You can even run 9" ET 55's on all 4 corners if you like.

23540 17 tires front and 2554017 rear. You may want to run a set of 5mm spacers in the rear to bring the tires to the fenders. But good as is also.
