Title: Fitting 9.5 x 19" Porsche Wheels on the Rear????
Post by: dubfordstyling on March 16, 2012, 03:04:52 pm

Can anyone answer me this question before I go and drop a load of cash on some Porker rims?

They are:

Front:  8 x 19" ET 57 5 x130 - should be fine with a pair of adapters right?
Rear:  9.5 x 19"  ET 46 5 x130 - Will these fit with adapters or are they just too wide at that offset?  Also what size tyres do people recommend?

Cheers in advance!!

They will fit but u will have serious poke u will have to have to mess with chamber aswell probably have to do the fender screw mod and fenders rolled to try and prevent any rubbing which I doubt
I have seen on another forum a guy with those offsets but were 18inch and got them to fit but carnt find the picture
