Hi,
I've got my eye on some Porsche Boxter wheels.
Here is the spec:
16'' Rims
front tyres: 205/55/16
rear tyres: 225/50/16
front et:50
rear et:40
Stud pattern: measured across 2 studs it's 125mm.
centre bore: 72mm approx.
Just not sure that the 125mm stud pattern will fit without some kind of adapter. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
R0B

Methinks you will need to buy some adaptors.
Brickwerks sell them..

Cheers Rob
That stops me slightly then. I've got my eyes on a really smart set of wheels with tyres that are going for a good price but If I've got to spend a load more on adapters it doesn't really seem worth it.

I'm starting to think that maybe I should go back to plan B and get some 5 spoke Empi's. Just bolt them on and go. Dont want to spend and waste time and money!

Mine came with empis, what's the issue with the off set?

yes i realised after buying a cheap set of 17's twists.... bought brickwerks adaptors .. VERY pricy ... but cant knock them. come with studs as well . so allot easier to mount the wheels.
