Porsche Panamera Wheels - another will my wheel setup fit thread...
Little back story-- I purchased a set of Porsche Panamera Turbo S wheels for an 02 Volvo S60, which I lost a couple of weeks back. Long story and really don't want to talk about it :(lost the timing belt due to a had tensioner). The wheels measure out at 19x10 61et for the rear, and 19x9 60et for the fronts.
I found my 02 XType while windowshopping on eBay and now I im stressing myself over this wheels and tires combo I have sitting in my room. The tries are are at 275/39/19 Rear and 235/35/19 up front. I want to leave the stock height and hopefully purchase some adapters that will make this all work. I've seen a member here named Execepet pull off some great looking wheels: some 10" wide and some that are 20" wheels. With the stock height in mind, I feel that I'm somewhere in the middle by judging his past setups. What do you guys think, Can I pull this off? |

I also confirmed the tire sizes with discount tire for an awd and they approved the tire ratings. The Volvo's AWD system is a bit more sensitivery with overall tire diameter biad so I made sure I got that down to the T. |
RG: You're correct - these tires are the same diameter.
Different question: Will you drive many miles / year on them? I ask because the staggered tires on my S430 AMG last only ~10K miles rear and ~15K miles front. Mileage warranties don't help: tire makers cut the warranty 50% for staggered tires you can't rotate front to rear. At ~$300 per tire, it's not fun buying ~4 replacements every year after year. So I punted, bought rear wheels that match the front, and now rotate & balance regularly for ~40K mile tread life. Not suggesting you do the same; just my 2 cents on the downside of staggered tires on a daily driver. |

At $500 shipped I won't argue with the staggered fitment though it was not something I went out to achieve. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...269c12765a.png |
