Default Speedline Wheels F/S

Hi All
I am selling my speedline wheels which I bought a few years ago...
I made an error when buying these and didn't realize the bolt pattern was incorrect They are 5 x 120 vs the 5 x 130 for the Porsche's
Without a hub adapter, they will not fit on a Porsche. Ironnically, they were on the previous sellers early 911 turbo.
I really screwed up on this one.
Anyway, my loss may be someone else's gain
Here is the listing on eBay.

Any questions please feel free to ask
Thanks
Kind regards
Ed

Hi Olli
Hope all is well
Well, I not only screwed up the bolt pattern, but also the offsets are quite a bit off. I was so disappointed that I screwed up on the bolt pattern, I decided to give up and just sell them ...
The offsets are 48 and 37 ... can I make that up with adapters ?
My stock wheels offsets are
65 front and 60 rear
but I think the Mg Turbo Cup Wheels I have, are a different offset than the stock ones, and they fit, but I think they were not that far off,( I believe 52 and 57 ET )?
Do you know if they would fit or does maybe your friend know ?
Best regards
Ed

Ed, hubs can be made for those ET's as well. My friend fabricated a set of hubs for another friends 911.He has a set of 5 X 120 BBS race wheels. Not the cheapest solution, but if you have a nice set of Speedlines, then consider this alternative as well. Everything can be made

I thought that running smaller offsets could not be solved by adapters.

In most cases not. Custom made hubs will solve this problem.

Olli, in the rear, what is the difference between the late and early hubs? I have no experience with the early offset stuff.

Eddie with those widths (8.5" / 9") you might be able to get them to work. I've fitted 10" all round on a stock body before. et 60. I had the guards rolled just in case so it did clear. I'm thinking with a spacer to bring them out that could also adapt to the 5x130...you might just get there? Olli and others could probably do the calcs.
