Forged Wheel Designs for the Porsche Cayman

Every design below is forged to order, so it can be machined to the Porsche Cayman's 5x130 bolt pattern and 71.6 mm center bore, with the width and offset calculated for your setup.

How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements

Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.

ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice

With less structural stiffness from the missing roof, a convertible's suspension tuning leans more heavily on unsprung mass control. Forged construction keeps wheel weight down at the same strength rating, which is one less variable working against the Porsche Cayman's chassis.

The Porsche Cayman runs a 5x130 bolt pattern, 71.6mm center bore, and a F: 18x8.0J wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is F 18x8.5J ET50 / R 18x9.0J ET46, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Porsche Cayman. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is F 18x8.5J ET50 / R 18x10.0J ET36 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.

Porsche Cayman OE Wheel Specs

The 2013-2014 Porsche Cayman (Roadster) uses a 5x130 bolt pattern with a 71.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are F: 18x8.0J R: 18x9.0J.

Why the factory spec works for most owners:

  • Balances ride comfort with everyday drivability
  • A commonly used size for this vehicle class, supporting parts and tire availability
  • Maintains clearance for the factory suspension and brake components
  • Provides stable, predictable handling across normal driving conditions

ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Porsche Cayman (2013-2014) we drill the 5x130 pattern and cut the centre bore to 71.6mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.

Flush Fitment

For a flush look, F 18x8.5J ET50 / R 18x9.0J ET46 is a commonly used starting point — clearance must be verified on a stock or mildly lowered Porsche Cayman.

Maximum Aggressive Fitment

F 18x8.5J ET50 / R 18x10.0J ET36 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Offset & Backspacing Reference

Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):

  • OE: F 18x8.0J ET57 → ~6.74″ F backspacing, R 18x9.0J ET45 → ~6.77″ R backspacing
  • Flush: F 18x8.5J ET50 → ~6.72″ F backspacing, R 18x9.0J ET46 → ~6.81″ R backspacing
  • Max: F 18x8.5J ET50 → ~6.72″ F backspacing, R 18x10.0J ET36 → ~6.92″ R backspacing

A Note on Clearance

Final clearance depends on the exact tire model, suspension height, brake package, alignment and vehicle tolerances. A physical test fit is recommended before production.

Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Porsche spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Porsche Cayman? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.

Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Porsche Cayman (5x130, 71.6 mm Bore)

In our database, 292 other vehicle entries from 10 makes use exactly the same 5x130 bolt pattern and 71.6 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.

5x130 is used by 5.8% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (375 of 6,503); 78.7% of those also use a 71.6 mm center bore.

Hub-Centric Rings for a 71.6 mm Center Bore

A wheel with a center bore larger than 71.6 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:

Wheel boreRing size
72.6 mm72.6 → 71.6 mm
73.1 mm73.1 → 71.6 mm
74.1 mm74.1 → 71.6 mm
76.1 mm76.1 → 71.6 mm

ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 71.6 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Porsche Cayman use?
The 2013-2014 Porsche Cayman uses a 5x130 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Porsche Cayman use?
The Porsche Cayman uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x130), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Porsche Cayman?
The Porsche Cayman's center bore is 71.6mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Porsche Cayman?
Factory wheels on the Porsche Cayman are F: 18x8.0J R: 18x9.0J.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Porsche Cayman without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is F 18x8.5J ET50 / R 18x10.0J ET36. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Porsche Cayman?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend F 18x8.5J ET50 / R 18x9.0J ET46 as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Porsche Cayman.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Porsche Cayman?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Porsche Cayman?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 6.72" backspacing up front and 6.81" in the rear.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Porsche Cayman?
Yes — the Porsche Cayman's factory and our recommended flush/max fitments already use staggered sizing (different width front and rear), and ANKUSI can forge matching staggered sets to your target offsets.
