The factory can now offer 19” diameter wheels for the Ultima, here’s a photo of our first factory 19” set to suit the new EVO longer front wishbones.
Available in all colours and in a Porsche fitment tyre size for maximum long term tyre choice availability in the latest tyre designs.
Our Ultima Evolution spec 19” factory wheels are an ultra- lightweight forged design. Available in short front wishbone specification too for earlier cars.
We also now have huge stocks of the 18” Michelin PS2 tyres which Michelin have kindly reserved for us specifically for the Ultima, so no issues for future tyre fitment on the 18” versions either.
Feel free to contact the factory for any further info and for ultra- competitive 19” wheel prices.

19s defo the way to go as long as there's no detriment to handling with increased weight.
There are no modern tyres available in 18" for our rear fitment, all the modern stuff is 19 and above. PS2s are the best road option for us at the mo, and that's a 10 year old + design and compound.
Supersports for road and cup 2 or Dunlop race Maxx for track in 19, nice
Edited t ask Richard:
What's the total weight of the 19s with tyres (pilot supersport and trackday type too) and how does it compare with the 18s?
Cheers

It seems a lot what I thought when I imported my car in Italy:
While compiling documents I specified the alternative tire sizes by following the Porsche sizes.
The original Ultima wheels have a very low ET while Porsche rims have it high, this allows you to place a PCD adapter like this one:
only problem is that: the original columns are very long, the front adapter have a monstrous thikness! 60mm! and studs is ok... but the back will be 20mm and it is too little with a 12 inch rim, 11 inch rim increase adapter to 32.5 thikness.
