[benj1989]

Iv bought a pair of second hand porsche cayenne 18 inch wheels for my leon. I no the pcd of the porsche wheels are 5x100 and the leon is 5x112 so ill need pcd adapters but when i was about to buy them they give me a option of how think i want them so 20,25,30 or 35mm. It also says about offset whatever that is lol(newb on wheels)
Anyone have a clue what mm adapters i will probly need. I don't no the offset of the wheels but the tyres on the new wheels are 225 40 18 if that helps?
My wheels n at the moment are oem 16 inch seat wheels. Hope this is enough info for you guys to help me out but if not let me no

Think you need to find out what offset the Porche wheels are and what's on your car already and work from there. A good company selling adapters should be able to tell you. I'm sure someone in here will probably know all the info, there may even be a thread on adapters.

There is a thread called Porche alloy wheel help have a look.
They mention offset 50 and using 20mm adapters quality ones around £150
Hope this helps

Cheers mate also just seen that the wheels may be 5x130 not 5x100? Will this be on the wheels themselves?

Look at the inside of the wheel where the bolt holes are all the info should be there.

Porsche wheels are 5x130 mate, have a look for stanced uk they make adaptors, a mate used fk ones before but they were pricey

 

[benj1989]

Fk seem to be around 80idh quid for 2 and on stanced their over 110.
Ill have to wait untill the weekend to see what offset they are as the wheels are at my mums anyone have any tios with using spacers? Like should i also use glue when bolting them on so they deffinetly don't come loose ect.

Offset will vary depending on the wheel widths Ben. As an example my 18 x 8 ET50 fit nicely but I could easily go to ET40 without issues. Lowering will also affect how much offset you'll be able to get away with.

This is handy.

Sounds stupid but try n get one or two bolts lightly in and space it with washers till it sits were u want it too dont forget that if ur lowered u will have a slight bit of negative camber about 1 degree unless u can just keep trying different adapters n the Porsche wheels (if they have Porsche fitment) they will b 5x130 but u do get some reps in 5x100 should say in the back of the spoke or on the inside by the whole for the centre cap post a pic of the wheels and the offset (et number) may b different from from to rear n I should b able to give u a hand fella

You don't want to be going any lower than et30 or else they will just stick out too far unless you are slammed and have lots of negative camber. So if the porsche wheels are et50 then use the 20mm adapters to take it down to et30

Alternatively, go for a mega offset...

[benj1989]

So this is what i can see
I beleive the et is 38 the pcd is 5x100 so I'm guessing their reps.
Here are the pictures i took

Not sure what the sun shape things are with the numbers tho

Sorry its upside down think this are the size and width of the alloys.

This is from the 16 seat wheels i have now so you no what the set up is now. Didn't no the bogo 16's are bbs wheels lol.
My car is also on coilovers so if i need to raise the car i can.
What you guys think i need? Thanks ben

Before you fit PCD adaptors those wheels will poke out 31mm more than your current wheels. You'll also have 7mm less clearance on the inside as they're wider.

 

[benj1989]

so the wheels will poke out 5CM more in the end with 20mm adapters right. Is that too much?

Yup. I'd say that's too much. I wouldn't go that far personally.
