Yes 4x100 -> 5x130.

9J is enormous, you will need the arches rolled and pulled as the spacers are going to push the offset down, which will move them off the hubs even more.

porsche wheels on mk2's are almost as common and cool as BBS. adaptors are easy to get from loads of places now and the porsche wheels are normally 6, 7 or 8" wide.

If you change your hubs to mk3 ones and get some adapters made up then i have a set you might be interested in. Bargain price too.

Look in the for sale section.  :cool:

to be honest i cant be doing with the hassle of changing stuff like that. shame as those wheels look sweet and would definately interest me, out of interest how much you looking for them?
