Title: porsche adapters?
Post by: bad-vw-boy on 29 November 2007, 18:59: Hi all
I am looking to get some Porsche Design 90 Alloys and i was wondering where i can get the adapters to fit them , also what size can i fit on the mk1 cabrio, i was thinking 6x16 front and 7x16 rear but would i manage 8x16 rear? :tongue:

i could get 16x9 on the rear of my cab with plenty of room on the outside, they scrubbed on inside but that was nothing that spacers wouldn't sort! (they were trial fit from my brothers car!)

Post by: [han] on 30 November 2007, 19:26: no i didn't rub on the outer arch, i was catching on the springs, but the wheels werent the correct fitment (needed spacers)

i couldn't say for definite about your wheels..

The clipper kit gives you more room for wider wheels :)

just get good stretch on the tyres and you will be fine!

Post by: bad-vw-boy on 06 December 2007, 11:59: the problem with stretched tyres is the rims are more prone to damage from pot holes of which there are a lot in surrey, having already buckled a set of bbs rm's on a :sad:lowered mk2
