Default Largest 18” Tire size?

Hi all,

ive purchased some Porsche Cayenne 18” wheels for light off-road / back country setup and would like to fit 285/65/R18 tires and was wondering if anyone here could advise on if there would be any fitment issue? Rubbing etc

Thanks Dan

those are 30.5's, I believe the'll fit just fine w/out rubbing (IIRC you can go to 31.5 w/out rubbing).. but your an inch larger than your spare tire and different size tires are bad for the drivetrain.. so I'd not use the spare for more than say 100 miles or so, and if I had to do more than that because I was in middle of BFE I'd immediately change the diff fluid on whatever axle the spare was on.
