Porsche wheels??

Post by Bigjcc55 »

I had a look at a set of wheels tonight, porsche cup 1, the offset is a bit different to the others I've looked at, the offset on the front was et 23, and 7 1/2j, has anyone fitted these to a t25 and how?

Thanks jc

I have a lovely set of Porsche Boxter wheels on mine with spacers. They fit great with no problems.Image

the 23 offsets are to low as they have come of a watercooled porsche you need the bigger offset wheels of the Aircooled porsche models or your wheels will be stuck past your arches

You want the ET in the 50's and get 25mm spacers. You can machine them down to 20mm if need be but better to be more. This is what mine are and even the slider misses just.

I'm looking for a set of cayenne turbo wheels, and then paint them in satin black I think.
What's a sensible drop onto 18 inch wheels, it's a panel van, no camping interior.

With the Cayenne wheels you will need massive adapters at the rear, at least 45mm. Good thing about these wheels they can be bought for pennies!

Looking nice! Where did you get the massive adapters from, the brickwerks ones are 20mm I think. How low is you're van at the moment and what clearance issues if any do you have?
