Plus Sizing, Fitting And Alignment
Perhaps 90% of Porsche wheel upgrades concern buyer's' interest to plus size new rims all around. Owner's goal is to improve looks, driving performance and market value. However, to do this right, and with the least negative impact on your Porsche's operating performance, you should re-size rims on condition that you stay within 3% of your original OEM wheel and tire diameter.
Let's look at the "downside" if you ignore this guideline. For starters, your plus-size rims may cause your speedometer and odometer to give you false readings, which may prove financially annoying in limited speed zones. Next, your increased rotation length may cause your transmission to alter shift points, resulting in operating inefficiencies. Meanwhile, out sized Porsche wheels may cause your braking system computer and sensors to malfunction, as microprocessors fail to read inputs from your wheel rotation, potentially leading to braking failure.
When your technician fits your new rims, ask whether a hub centric ring will improve the fit to the hub. You want a balanced wheel, but also one that microscopically fits in order to eliminate vibration and road noise. After balancing and fitting, you need to ensure that wheel alignment occurs, where the key suspension angles of caster, camber and toe are carefully integrated in order to enhance driving performance and wheel and tire longevity.
