Hello,

I am a new member on this forum and in process of configuring my new 2014 Cayman that I will order soon. I am also planning to buy a set of aftermarket wheels. One set that I am considering has front wheel size 19x8.5 (et 56) and rear 19x9.5 (et 46). Bolt pattern 5x130. Hub Bore 71.5. I would like to know if these will fit without spacers, and if spacers are needed then what size? I also would like to know what would be proper tire sizes for these wheels?

I have the same question for another set of wheels (it has different size for rear wheels):
19x8.5 (et 56) and rear 19-10 (et 50). Bolt pattern 5x130. Hub Bore 71.6. Also, what would be recommended tire sizes?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, sure. I am searching and will continue to do so. But, so far I am still substantially confused to confidently say that wheels I mentioned will fit as well as tire sizes. I know this forum has many experienced and knowledgeable members. May be someone would be able to provide a direct answer to specific sizes I mentioned in the original post. Again, I appreciate all the help.

The sizes you posted will fit without a problem. Final fitment that you are trying to obtain will determine the size of the spacer you would want to run, if any. Some people like more aggressive fitments while others prefer a more conservative look. Take a look at the "Wheels and Tires Setups That Worked" Sticky and scroll through to see what setup you like. Once you obtain the specs of the setups that you like, then you can calculate to determine spacer sizes from there.

Just throwing it out there, I have a set of HRE 545R centers that can be built to whatever specs you like in 18" Step Lip and my set of 19" iForged Variants will be for sale in the next month or so. Let me know if you need any other help
