As someone hunting around for this tirerack hasn't update for the Macan EV, or has rim stock (says Jan 2025)? Any other major supplier on top of it yet?

 

[DuckMan]

No, it's on tire rack on build a winter tire set. Put in 2924 macan 4 EV and 20" and fill in tire choice, then wheels pop up.

 

[DuckMan]

I stand corrected, wheels unavailable till "Additional inventory due 01/15/25" as you said. Aplogies for the false alarm.

Have been looking around at this and can't seem to find rims that work. Possible the ice macan rims are an option? Alpine5 and winter2 seem like a good choice of tire.

Worst case can get the OE 20" rims with (likely) alpine5, but it's like 6k delivered

@Doggo that's what I did. $ US 5200ish from Porshe dealer.

Decisions decisions. Not loving the Porsche 20" rims. Did you get alpine 5 with them? They would have been my initial choice but the winter2 (a long with the model intended for EV) have got my interest.

Dying to know if a) resellers haven't updated their db for compatibility, or b) no one is making rims that are suitable ATM. Suspect it's the former, just wish they'd get going already. I got the 22 summer tires (corsa) so don't want to go anywhere near winter with those.

Got the 5s I think. Have not seen them yet. Standard 20" not my favorite, but cheapest and best milage. S version looks better, but bring the wallet for a bit extra cost.

Scroll over 2 standard S 20". Not terrible 5300$.

On my Macan 4, I have 21 " Macan Design 8.5ET27/10.5ET47. The best fit winter wheels I could find are from Braelin.

BR10 in 21" - F: 9ET30 gives -9mm inner clearance and +3mm extended wheel position; R: 11ET50 gives -9mm inner clearance and +3mm extended wheel position.

BR10 in 20" - F: 9ET25 gives -4mm inner clearance and +8mm extended wheel position; R: 10ET40 gives +13mm inner clearance and +1mm extended wheel position.

BR08 in 20" - F: 8.5ET25 gives +2mm inner clearance and +2mm extended wheel position; R: 10ET45 gives +8mm inner clearance and -4mm retracted wheel position.

I would have gone with the BR08 20" wheels to save cost on winter tires and I prefer to have a "+" inner clearance with a neutral wheel position.

In the end, as I leased my Macan that will see only 3-winters, I decided to just buy winter tires (Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV F: 255/45R21; R: 285/40R21) and swap tires 2x per year. My indy shop will remove/mount/balabce for $25/tire.

great write up. For me 20s generally better in the snow than 21s. I have 21 summer and 20 winter wheels. Decided to go with winter wheel/tire cause we have tough winters with wheel damaging salt and gravel and I go .

 

[Doggo]

Anyone found a wheel/tire package as of yet? I've got 22", not loving the idea of ripping tires on and off each season.

 

[DuckMan]

Got the 20" standards on now with Alpine 5 from dealer. Actually look a bit better than I expected, and I'm glad snow and mud will have minimal access to interior wheel housing. Price sucks though. Got to take a peak at power usage metrics for 20's with snows vs 21s with summers at some point but likely not a huge difference.

Trying to avoid this route - cost is high, and id rather go with this over the alpin5

Have emailed tirerack but no confirmation as of yet. Hopefully a simple update of their database to show compatible rims. Getting cold in the tristate, running out of time.
