Cayenne E1: 5x130, a 71.6 mm hub, bolts tightened to 160 Nm

The first Porsche Cayenne, type 9PA and often called the E1, from the V6 and the Diesel to the S, the GTS, the Turbo and the Turbo S, whose first Swiss vehicle type record dates from November 2002, is 5x130, on a 71.6 mm hub, with M14 x 1.5 wheel bolts tightened to 160 Nm: koleso.ee, SCC and wheelfitment.eu give these measurements and agree, each cited in the table. The bolt seat is given by only one source: it is not published here. The Cayenne E2, which succeeds it, keeps the PCD (bolt pattern) and has its own page.

From 18 to 21 inches, the same wheel at all four corners

The vehicle type record of the Swiss Federal Roads Office (ASTRA), the document that sets the tyre and wheel combinations a car may carry, permits on the Cayenne E1 an 8J x 18 wheel with an offset of 57 on both axles, fitted with 255/55 R18 tyres, a 9J x 19 wheel with an offset of 60 on 275/45 R19 tyres and a 9J x 20 wheel with an offset of 60 on 275/40 R20 tyres. The records from 2007 onwards add a 10J x 21 wheel with an offset of 50, on 295/35 R21 tyres. The V6 and the Diesel also have, in their records from 2007 onwards, a 7.5J x 17 wheel with an offset of 53, on 235/65 R17 tyres. Three records of the Turbo and the Turbo S do not list an 18-inch wheel.

In 20 and in 21 inches, a staggered fitment too

The remarks in the records permit, in 20 inches, a 10J x 20 rear wheel with an offset of 55 behind the 9J x 20 front wheel with an offset of 60, and, in 21 inches, a 10J x 21 rear wheel with an offset of 45 behind the 10J x 21 front wheel with an offset of 50, on 275/40 R20 and 295/35 R21 tyres on both axles. With ceramic brakes, only the 20 and 21-inch wheels can be fitted, according to these same remarks: the guide wheels and brakes explains why braking limits the diameter.

The load per wheel

The highest permissible load in the Cayenne E1's records is that of the Turbo S: 1,490 kg on the front axle and 1,700 kg on the rear axle, i.e. 745 and 850 kg per wheel. This is the load the wheel must carry, and the tyre keeps at least the load index of the original fitment: 109 for the 255/55 R18, 108 for the 275/45 R19, 106 for the 275/40 R20, 107 for the 295/35 R21 (reading a tyre). On an SUV of this weight, the guide wheels for a heavy car: the load per wheel details the calculation.

What these measurements say about a forged wheel

The offset positions the wheel in the wheel arch: a wider wheel, or a lower offset, brings it closer to the wing. The Onyx Forged design office starts from the measurements on this page, your brakes and your tyres to calculate the width and offset of your wheels, then submits them to you. The offset calculator compares two fitments: it compares, it does not choose the measurement for you.

Roadworthiness test: what is examined

The French roadworthiness test (contrôle technique) examines the wheel without removing it (cracks, deformation, a wheel that protrudes beyond the bodywork) and verifies that the tyre size is one provided for by the manufacturer or accepted as equivalent. Keeping a tyre size from the original fitment, and at least its load index, avoids having to justify it; the details are on the roadworthiness test and registration page.

What we record before machining

• The exact version, stated on the registration document, and the current diameter of your wheels.
• The braking system, on which the smallest possible diameter depends (wheels and brakes).
• The current fitment, axle by axle, and the hub's 71.6 mm centre bore according to the databases.

Configure your forged wheels for the Porsche Cayenne (E1, 9PA)

The Onyx Forged design office works out the measurements of your car from its exact version, stated on the registration document, and shows them to you before machining. Each set is cut from forged 6061-T6 aluminium, machined on a 5-axis CNC centre, as monoblock, two-piece or three-piece wheels; our wheels are designed to JWL/VIA standards. Prices by diameter and the lead time are given on this page, under “What Onyx can make”. Start your configuration or write to contact@onyxforgedwheels.com.
