Links to Cayman wheel/tire sizes?

I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for... Can someone link me to a thread that has all the sizes that have been shown to work on the CS? ET, widths, sizes, etc....

Thanks!

Has anyone here tried to see what the largest set of rims/tires you could get to fit (reasonably of course)?

I'm not sure you'll find the definitive reference for wheel / tire combo's for your Cayman. I have a 2007 Boxster S and have been looking at replacement rims and tires for a while. What is it you are trying to do? What diameter wheel are you thinking? I don't know of anyone fitting anything bigger then a 20 inch on these cars. Width wise, 8.5 inch front and 11 inch rear is about the max.

Tire wise, I've been looking at 19 inchers. You can get a 245/35 front and a 295/30 rear on these cars. I have seen someone fit a 305/30 in the rear, but man that's a tight fit.

I forgot to mention, I've been working with a VERY helpful guy at wheelenhancement.com.

I would probably stay with a 19" but I know I'll need some extra meat under there once the twin turbos are on. It would be a waste to have that much power and not put it to the ground! I was thinking of going with 997tt rims but was told the offset wouldn't work.

Good to hear an 11" will fit in the rear; that's huge! I found a set with 8.5 fron and 9.5 rear. But if I can go larger, I think I should.
