Less brakes, more gas!

Not to be a wet rag on your plans, bu Matt, you need new rims. Too much work for very little gain if you have to replace all the parts. I did this for my BBS RS wheels only because I thought I got a great set of parts for very little $. In the end I think I spent about the same $ as if I just bought the same wheels, but correct offsets+sizes, from the start. I certainly would have saved myself a lot of labor time and heart ache.
FYI, I have 16x8 and 16x9 on my SC which has the same fenders and hubs as your car. 8" is pretty much the limit in front, though I could probably done an 8.5. Keep in mind, an 8" wheel is actually wider than 8". The reference of 8" is for the tire bead width and does not include the lips that enclose the tire beads on either side. Jeff educated me on wheels and how they are spec'd and done. He also got me my custom shells so he can help you a lot. Best regards, Michael

Yes the wheel fitment is 5x120 BMW wheels. I have 5x130 car to 5x120 wheel adapters and they have the correct center bore 72.56. The rears fit awesome the front should also as long as I get new outer shells. If I went with the smallest outer shell for the wheel they could be 17x7.5. Please correct me if I'm wrong but is this still not doable??

It sounds like you need so many extra/different pieces you should just sell them whole and buy some new Porsche wheels as was suggested by 175K911.

Well,
If you have the adapters all ready, and you are confident that the front wheel will fit with the new small outer rim shell, it may work. However, like others have said, perhaps a new set of wheels made for your car is the way to go...... Cheers

I got a good deal on the wheels and they look sick on the car. Even if I had to buy 2 shells, for what I paid for the wheels It's still cheaper than buying new 3pc wheels that have the 5X130 fitment. I have a few emails out trying to source lips, we'll see what happens.
