Other fellow member are correct in that the 792 wheels are only available as 19x8 and 19x8.5 and hence it wont have the lip on the fender.

Ive talked to genius and my dealer several times about the proper tire size (especially the fronts) and they all seemed to think the order guide was showing the right sized tires for this option.
245 wide tire should technically fit a 8in wheel and so I am hoping it still comes with 245 wide front. Shouldn't be a problem for rears to fit a 255 even if the wheel is only 8.5 wide which is similar to the other staggered wheel options such as 791 or 797.

The 893 wheels are wider front and rear as shown in the order guide.
Thanks for your input and response

That's too bad. Would be great to have a wheels option with 8.5 and 9.5 width at no charge. Instead of having to spend an extra $2400. Tbh i'd probably be willing to spend for the 893m wheels. It looks so nice it's just hard to justify the cooling and bigger brakes when I will only be using it to commute to work on a 2 lane highway haha.

When you get your car, can you please share the photos of your wheels? 🙏
I agree. $2400 is a tough pill to swallow especially if you are going to use it only on the road 99% of the time.

I was torn between the 792 vs 893 and ultimately chose the 792. Figured I could spend the money on other goodies or perhaps on M perf exhaust when it eventually comes out.

I will definitely post pictures when I get it but its a month out before I pick it up.
