Just put 22s on my CayenneS !

Ok guys I just got a pre-owned Cayenne S and put on a set of OZ 22s with 285/35/22 tires and the back two wheels look perfect but the front two not so much. I mean the front wheels stick out maybe a half inch and it just doesn't look right. They are already bolted on the car what the heck should I do?
Would tirerack take them back even though they were installed already ? Do I need to run a staggered set up ? I am lost and kinda bummed.

One option would be to do the wheel arch extensions. Would give the illusion that the vehicle is wider.

Yupp they are just the bright silver Canyons. I am probably not going to extend the wheel well arches. I think I am going to have them removed tomorow and hopefully returned.

I have the same wheels with 285/35/22 tires as well, and I know what you mean about the front sticking out slightly more than the rears. If you look at the car from the front, you can clearly see the front wheels coming out just past the fender, about 1/2" or so.

Is your car lowered? If not, drop it and it will look 1000 times better. When the car sits up high, the gap along with the wheels slighly coming out looks horrible. Surprisingly, when you sit the car lower, it actually improves the look.

You can see it from this angle. This is lowered on H&R Springs, but as you can tell, the wheels come out past the fender slightly in the front...

My CTT looked the same but I dont think it harms the look.
The front bumper tapers inwards and will always expose much more tyre than the rear.
No one else but me has noticed it!

I've got 295/30/22 tires on mine and they do stick out slightly as well. I think it looks fine aesthetically; my concern is whether it throws more road debris against the side of the car. I have "clear guard" on the sides...hope that's enough.
