Hi guys...I think this is only my second post so bear with me! I have a mk 2 (feb last year) with 19inch wheels and really want to get some RS Spyders but think the 21inch will make the ride too hard and bumpy?? 20inch I think would be a better compromise but are only available at dealers with winter tyres...why not summer tyres as well! 20inch can be bought from Germany (cw.performance.wheels)....anyone got got some info please?

No reason I can see why you shouldn't run 20 inch wheels, so long as they are 100% correct for the Macan. Tyres would need to be N rated too

I drove an early Macan on 21inch wheels and thought the ride was awful. I have both 20 inch and 21 inch cars on my Macan but I have air suspension and the ride is good

This is the spec of wheels/tyres you'll need

I would get a quote for 20" inch spider wheels, hub covers and sensors alone from parts department of OPC and then look at adding N rated summer tyres separately.

but just spotted Design911 seem to have what you want on offer

How about these, come with summer and dont cost the same as new ones (2nd link) so relatively speaking these look a reasonable option

Mine came from design911 and they are fab. Mine have winter tyres though.

My summers are 21” and the ride is good, I do have air though.

You should keep your 19’s for winters.

Tried 21 inch wheels on mine but the better ride is on 20 inch wheels, standard suspension, ride was a little too firm on the 21`s in my opinion.

I’ve 21” on my 2017 S but it has air suspension & I think the ride is good. It was one reason I bought the car over a GTS.

I find the ride on the 21s better than the 20s we had on the Evoque.

We have PASM too.

All good here and look fab too!
