i've had an idea and i want to know if it would be possible or if anyone has done it... Porsche Boxter/911 wheels on my MCS... now im talking about the hugh wide ones so either 8x17's on the front and 10x17 on the back get them painted white or black and again with Runflat tyres i estimate it will cost about a grand!

But is it possible... and has anyone else done it

please post pictures if you have done this or have seen this done thanks

i highgly doubt that width would fit plus the offset and hole pattern will be totally different. Run Flat tyres alone that size would cost a grand with out the wheels

Fevs · Jan 19th, 2007, 02:33 PM

cannot see it being posable different stud spacing and aint thay 5 stud ?

marx87 · Jan 19th, 2007, 02:41 PM

Not possible, porsche wheels are 5 stud.

Jordan210 · Jan 19th, 2007, 02:43 PM

You can buy a stud kit to make it 5 studs but this is very expensive.

Curry23 · Jan 19th, 2007, 02:45 PM

but the width would be far to wide, so you would need to have arch extentions put on to cover the tyre if you managed to fit them in the first place

Jon Chalk · Jan 19th, 2007, 02:46 PM

Plus; not very advisable to have larger wheels on the back wheels of a fwd car than on the front.

Jeenyus · Jan 19th, 2007, 02:46 PM

the 5 bolt pattern is no problem

"Want to run Porsche wheels on your 4-bolt vehicle? These are the adapters to do it. Two sets needed per vehicle. Adapters are 25mm and will work with 50mm offsets and higher."

the tyres are 150 each same as the current ones i have so 600 all in but i could get them for 500

and the alloys i can easyierly get of ebay for around 500, 700 max

the main reason is that its illegal to have the tyre edge protruding from under the arch.
