If you're cross-shopping Porsche wheels, it’s natural to wonder: Can I throw a set of Macan wheels on my Cayenne?
They’re both luxury SUVs, both Porsche—so they should be interchangeable, right?
Not exactly. While some Porsche wheels are interchangeable across models, Macan wheels are in a category of their own—especially when it comes to bolt pattern, hub bore, and chassis setup. In this post, we’ll break down the key differences and also highlight which Porsche models do share fitment with the Cayenne.
🧷 Bolt Pattern & Hub Bore: The Macan is Unique
| Fitment Spec | Porsche Cayenne | Porsche Macan |
|---|---|---|
| Bolt Pattern | 5x130 | 5x112 (Not compatible) |
| Center Bore (Hub) | 71.6 mm | 66.6 mm (Smaller) |
| Chassis Size | Full-size SUV | Compact SUV |
Why this matters:
-
The bolt pattern on the Macan (5x112) is not compatible with the Cayenne’s 5x130 bolt layout.
-
The hub bore on the Macan is also smaller, meaning it won’t seat properly on a Cayenne hub without custom hub-centric rings—and even then, bolt mismatch makes it a no-go.
-
Even if the wheel diameter and width seem similar, the fitment is fundamentally different.
✅ Bottom line: Macan wheels do not fit the Cayenne due to both bolt pattern and hub bore differences. No adapter will fix that safely.
🧩 Which Porsche Wheels Do Fit the Cayenne?
Here’s where it gets more interesting: other Porsche sports cars do share compatible bolt patterns and hub specs with the Cayenne:
| Porsche Model | Bolt Pattern | Center Bore | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 911 (Various) | 5x130 | 71.6 mm | Rear width may vary; offset must be checked |
| Boxster | 5x130 | 71.6 mm | Watch for staggered setups |
| Cayman | 5x130 | 71.6 mm | Generally compatible with offset tuning |
| Panamera | 5x130 | 71.6 mm | Can be matched with the right offset |
💡 Keep in mind: while the bolt pattern and hub bore align, offset and width will vary. Sports cars often use narrower setups, so spacers or staggered fitments may be needed for a clean look on the Cayenne.
⚙️ Macan vs. Cayenne: Different Chassis = Different Needs
-
The Macan rides on a smaller chassis, closer in size to an Audi Q5
-
The Cayenne is built on a full-size SUV platform, with wider track and heavier suspension geometry
-
Wheel load rating, brake clearance, and wheel width requirements differ significantly
Even aftermarket wheels advertised as "Porsche fit" often distinguish between Cayenne and Macan for this exact reason.
