5x100 to 5x130 is what you need.

However you going to have issues, adaptors are 20mm so will leave you with a final offsets of 16 and 13.3 which means you going to need arch mods.

Yep Len is bang on.

Find Porsche wheels with a higher offset and you will be fine.

And the moral of this story is....

Before you splash the cash, check they fit!

Whats the minimum ofset he could get away with before he'd need arch work?

There are some 15mm adaptors on edition that would do the trick for £67.50 inc delivery and bolts, that'd give him offsets of 21 and 18.3, that still too low?

Pushing it a bit, if not lowered and the with the right size tyre you might be lucky.

ignore this lot... et 13 on a 7inch wide wheel will be fine, im currently running et 14 on and 8" wide wheel no with no problems at all... go for a 165/40 all round if you want that stretched look... those offsets will be fine...!

Depends how high and what tyres redders?
Tis all about how low you are mate, should fit if your only around 40mm down, But below that you will need to roll your arches/stretch the tyres!
