You can fit a man's finger inbetween the calipers and the inside rim of the wheels.
Didn't he object? :shock:

My GTS also runs on Michelin All Season tyres - I think they've been a good all round compromise. We live on a private road down a steep hill in Northern Scotland and have not had any problems getting in and out with snow and, more seriously, ice everywhere.

Hi - it looks tight (man's finger or not) but not touching, which is the main thing. Just pay attention when taking them off to avoid chipping the calipers. Will save a couple of ppl money on having to fork out for the 19" rims. Thanks for posting

Yes, we are chuffed that we did not have to buy a new set. But perhaps lucky that the "MACAN" design wheels fitted. :)

Just a question. Have you checked what the warranty/insurance position is when you run the car with a wheel size not recommended by Porsche?

These sizes are on the door frame with correct high/low pressures.

That’s mandated safety signage and is not put there unless it’s factual.
This means they meet type aproval for the application / chassis.

I do understand the extended warranty is a different kettle of fish.
As a seperate contract, they can insist on anything they like. You can either comply, or not buy the warranty.
