My fathers best friend since I was born is a machinist. I can get my bolt pattern changed to something other than the 4x130 for free.(except for shipping) I have flared fenders (stock gt) and want to fill the wheel well out. My parts car is drilled to fit the 4x100 bolt pattern. I looked on some web sites and found that pattern has many options available. If I go this route, how would I determin the offset needed to fit the car?

I might be wrong but I think all the factory porsche alloy wheels are forged. There is a big difference in forged and cast wheels especially the cost. The porsche wheels and their spacers with lugnuts without tires that will be needed will equal the complete tire/wheel brand new price of other bolt pattern sizes and if you shop long enough you probably won't need spacers. You just gotta figgure out the offset and width you need. I would not go with 15's because of tire choices.
There is a car on this or one of the other forums with nice wheels but I don't remember if it had flares or not. I do remember the wheels looked nice. Fieros also used 15 inch bbs wheels but that is really old school. |
