I have just a small window of time now to make any changes to my order and am a little nervous having ordered the car with 20 inch wheels.
Having never owned a Porsche before I wondered if anyone can comment on their experience of 20 and 19 wheels.
Thanks and look forward to any events.

If you are nervous about the potential alloy wheel rim edge damage, then the higher the Aspect Ratio of the tyre, the two digit middle number of the size description, the less likely you are to incurb kerbing damage. Here 60 series have more 'belly' than 35 series.
Macans can be ordered on these tyre sizes: So the 18" have the tallest and most bulbous sidewalls through to the 21" with the shortest and straightest ones:
I chose 19" for my Macan and have incurred no wheel damage in 20 months use. I had 40 / 35 series combo tyres on my previous car and incurred kerbing damage on three alloys despite my best efforts.
