Help needed ! thinking of buying some porsche wheels 16 " x 7j rear / 16" x 6j front / center bore 71 mm so thats ok but its the offset i am worryed about 7j rear are 50mm et and 6j front are 40mm et can i fit these wheels i know adapters are needed 112 - 130 5 stud by can i get the offset right ? i have worked out following the guide and i seem to think not !! 50mm with 20mm adapters brings in to et 30 which is ok ( if i am working this out right !! ) but the 40mm would need 10mm adapters which i dont think you can buy ? as 10mm brings it in to 30et again or am i completly wrong urgent help needed on this as the guy needs to know if i am buying them !

Anyone can advise ?

not going to work, the only adaptors worth buying are the brickworks ones, trust me i have had two others. they are 25mm so your ofset will be pants.

Thanks thats what worked out going off the info on here etc the rears would be ok if the adaptors are 20mm that would bring it in to 30 et but the fronts would be 20 et no good going by the 30-39 et req ! but i have read that people are fitting porsche wheels ! dont know what et they are or which wheels ? anyone with porsche wheels want to add to this thread ? i have looked at brickwerks adaptors good quality !

nothing wrong with h/r and fk adapters both come with german tuv certificate i would go with bigger wheels than 6 and 7 inch wide something like 7 and 8 1/2 x17 they come with the better offsets so you can use a 20/25mm spacer

Thank you fella for that info ! been looking through wiki etc but not found info i am looking for !

i run porsche wheels , using BW adaptors , wouyld be a little nicer if they where 20mm , not 25mm , but cant knock the quality ! fit perfect !! very well made.

i had to do the rear sliding door mod , as my sliding door rubbed on the rear wheel !

just finished these wheels yesterday, couldnt give a monkey about the et. if it means new bearings every 5000miles then so be it.

the h/r adapters are available in widths from 15mm to 90mm
