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.
