Need help with wheels for Porsche 944 Turbo
Hello!
I just bought a 1986 944 Turbo. I don't know much about 944s yet, so I need help with wheel selection. I found some rims that I like, it's Konig Lace 18x8, with 5x112 pattern and 35 offset. I found online manufacturer who makes wheel adapters and they can make and adapter that will fit 5x130 vehicle and 5x112 wheel, the adapter is 1.25" thick. Will that set-up work with my car?
Thank you!

It can be done if the offset is large enough to allow for a second set of studs. I did this to mount a set of aftermarket 10x18 Porsche wheels on my BMW. That was 5x130 porsche studs to 5x120 BMW lug bolts. The spacer was 30 mm, made by radusa.
I did it because the wheels were laying around. You want 'em?
