Default Wheel adapters question

Here is a question for all you wheel guys. I use to own a 2006 Mercedes cls 500 and purchased wheels for it that were really nice and I am thinking of putting them on my 2007 Porsche 997 twin turbo. I know that Mercedes lug pattern is 5x112 and that my car now is 5x130. The specs of my Mercedes cls wheels are ; RohonaRC10 19X8.5 5X112 25MM / 19X9.5 5X112 30MM MATTE BLAC


https://www.ebay.com/itm/322407679225

If anyone can direct me to what adapters I need to buy from eBay or where ever . Please let me know. The wheels are mint and I already seen a picture with these wheels on a red 997 turbo

Rohana wheels are cheap. If you must run them, buy another set that actually fit the 911. Not only are they the wrong stud pattern, but they're the wrong offset and the rears too narrow.

You've a proper car now, get proper wheels, stock,bbs, or hre. Ones made for it. Adapters are for the unemployed mellinial stance crowd.

Porsche vehicles come OEM with Adapters in some cases. While you don't want to go nuts, or maybe put crap wheels on your nice car. Nothing wrong with running them. I put some on the rear of my Cayenne S to get a little offset, My 987 S for same reason, and my 997 TT to kick the rear out more flush.

Good luck,
DC

With the offsets on the wheels he's looking to use plus adapters, surely the wheels would stick out quite far and would likely hit the guards.

@rock, adapters are not the same as the spacers you are describing, big safety difference

Now I see what he is referring to....read it again. Agree...would not try to adapt a bolt pattern or wrong wheel. That is just asking for trouble....
