No, because they put them on beetles and campers which studs are about 3 meters apart :?

You can get adapters 4x100 to 5x130 i was considering these when i saw some the most sexiest porsche dished rims for my wide arch however it gets too complicated when you have to workout the offsets becuase you can only get the adapters starting with 20mm spacers...

So i didnt want to risk it and get lumbard with the rims...!!

Still considering to do it at a later date.. when i work it all out!

Ste's old 24v Touring had a set of Porsche wheels on at one point.
