Default Can Porsche wheels fit on the F-bodY?

If so, where do you get the adapters?

Thanks.

Which ones would you want? I highly doubt they make such an adapter, but who knows....

I do not know the answer to this but I will take a fbody rotor to work and see how far off the holes on the porshce wheel are. IF htey llo close Ill bring a wheel home and try to put it on the hawk. I think the backspacing would be the problem.

i know that some of the BMW wheels fit but they say to run them at your own risk, cause the fit is not perfect.

Personally I can't think of any Porsche wheels that would look good, but that's just my opinion. If you just want the Porsche lug pattern, you'd be better off getting BMW 3 series wheels, but you must want a specific Porsche brand wheel. Good luck.

they are not gonna fit, not with out redrilling the hubs or making some kind of adaptor. PORSCHEs lug patter in 5x130mm bmws is 5x120 f body is 5x4.75
witch is just a hair bigger then 120mm actualy 120.64999999.
I belive theres some company out there that make copys in other bolt patterns

yes there is an adaptor that will allow porsche wheels to bolt on.H&R makes them.they are 25mm thick.i had ordered some for my y2k wheels and they accidently sent me those.they are a very high quality adaptor and you won't have any problems with them.only thing i can see that would be an issue is the backspacing for the wheels.if you run 9" wide wheels you'll need 8" backspace to allow for the adaptors.11"wide would need 8 3/4" b/s.
you can check with livermoreperformance.com thats where i bought mine.

The reason I ask is not for stock Porsche rims rather for Fikse and HRE rims built for a Porsche b/c I can find HREs and Fikse sometimes on E-bay for Porsches for great prices.
