981 S and winters

[edo]

Looking to get some winter wheels/tyres.

Will 18s fit on a 981 S with PCCBs?

[PowerMalc]

PCCB's are offered as an option on a standard Boxster 2.7 which comes with 18's

[edo]

good point.

Snow must be coming early to leafy Surrey this year....

I said Winter tyres, this is not just about Snow. This isn't the whys and wherefores of winter tyre. If they arent for you fine, please leave this thread. Nothing to see here. Cheers.

Edo your threads attract a fair bit of hate. Lucky you having a cayenne and a cayman though, I would love that.

FYI you can also get the 19's with winters if the 18's don't fit.

I've got some 19" wheels and winter tyres if anyone is interested.

They have only done 300 miles and are as good as new....

[NicD]

Good thought but I just ran the configurator and both PCCB and 18s were accepted.

[cowboyengineer]

On the macan, if you have PCCBs you can only run 19s

[Ozzie Osmond]

There's more to wheel fitment than just tyre diameter. The shape of the inside of wheels can vary considerably - which affects calliper clearance.

According to the Official Porsche winter wheel brochure below

http://www.pcms-porsche.co.uk/Winter_Wheels-Web-Br...

It mentions -

For vehicles fitted with
PCCB, please consult your
local Porsche Centre for
fitting options

Noticed they are 987 sized tyres e.g. 235/35/19 & 265/30/19 and not 235/40/19 & 265/40/19 std. tyre fitment on the 981

That's OK, I've got a 987.

This was my conclusion. It think the offset is ever so slightly different too.

I have a set of 20" (991) Carrera S wheels and winter tyres available that are sat at OPC Solihull. They've only done 4k miles and the wheels are totally immaculate. I'm waiting for delivery of a new car so haven't had them fitted this year.

Not sure. before you spend any money on a set of wheels that 'may' not fit, give your local OPC a call, they'll advise you what wheels are compatible with your car
