Sway bars, ties and wheels from Cayenne GTS

zer0t · Feb 17, 2015

I want to go with bigger / wider tires and get Cayenne sway bars. I have an 08 T2 V10 and want t stiffen that ride and make it corner just a touch better. Is there any other components I should consider from the Cayenne? Is the GTS a good sway bar platform to take form?

The wheel size is 21" and the tires size is 295-35-21. Is this going to fit under the truck? 2" taller but the section is smaller and less than 1" wider.

Thanks
Rob

swap the swaybars, pump the tyres slightly harder. Call it a day.

I have cayenne bars and rubber bushings. Do you have air suspension??

zer0t · Feb 17, 2015

Yes air suspension.

I need new tires anyway so that's why I figured if change now.

+1

I got GTS sway bars on my 2008 and am quite pleased with the improvement in handling characteristics.

Be aware of tire prices for 21" wheels. I ended up with turbo II reps in 20x9.5 et 45 because the tires are almost x3 cheaper.

I would love GTS sways but worry about losing offroad capabilities....

I want to get new wheels and need new tires anyway. I may go 20 but with either what's the widest section I can go without spacers?

Not sure the widest.... But for factory correct sizes and great price I went with 275/45/20XL. Make sure u keep XL load rating tire. Many choices in this size!

My factory tire size is 275-45-19. I was wondering if I could go 285-40-20. I think I can.

Nice looking setup, where did you score those wheels?

Got them locally in here in the bay area but they are also available on ebay. aspec tire was the shop. Just double check on the ebay ones; some are 20x9 but mine were 20x9.5. Also the offset varies some 50 others 45. Mine are 45.

I might have been able to go with 285/45/20 but with v10 intercoolers, I didnt feel the need to push it.

I paid $750 total. Probably saved a little by picking them up.
