i have a set of Enkei 15 " wheels...what were they meant to be used on?

They're 15x7 with a et 10 offset. "Wire spoke" (mesh) centers appear to be cast and welded to forged aluminum rims. Porsche 5 bolt pattern. Any ideas?

Question enkei wheel fitment

- you don't say what width ????

budget aftermarket stuff - used on anything they'd fit, "BBS look-a-likes" by some perspectives

by folks who were on a budget and/or upgrading from steel & who didn't always care about ET

check this - Porsche Wheel Fitting Chart and Fitment Guide | Alloy Wheels Direct

and this http://www.tyresizecalculator.com/tyre-wheel-calculators/wheel-offset-backspace-calculator

fwiw my 8x16 Fuchs are ET11

I believe I said in my original post they were 15 by 7. I understand that Enkei made basically a budget line of wheel but these are pretty good quality and surprisingly light. Not as light as a Fuchs in the same size but lighter than phone dials. given the unique bolt pattern on porsches, I just didn't know what they possibly could fit.

I bolted them up to my 911 and they're obviously a little too wide on the front without a significant negative camber setting. just curious what they might fit

oops - 7x15 sorry about that

as suggested above

they will fit any 5x130 pattern that they will fit under the fenders & not rub the tires

lots of folks put them on Porsche's cuz they"looked good" & were cheap (- like used car dealers etc)

so - yo say they fit your 911 - that answered your question - if you like the look, run 'em!
