Wheel size fitment question

Will 16" original porsche cup3 5-spoke wheels fit an 'E' reg mk1 cab 7" width at the front and 9" at the back? Obviously after fitting the 5 stud hubs.
ps. Would they fit an '83 'c' too!?

The answer is "Possibly"…

You need to get adaptors in a thickness that gets you the offset you need.
The trouble with Porsche wheels is, I think they are something like ET 45, to start with, so by the time you put your adaptors on (20/25mm in thickness), you would be looking at an offset of about ET20 to ET25 - A little low…

I know you can get away with 15x7's with an offset of ET25, so with a low enough profile tyre, the fronts should be ok, though you might get some clearance problems on the rears.

You will never really know until you try them though. Good luck!

im not sure about the cup wheels,but the design 90's are et 52.something…

the et should be stamped in the wheel somewhere,then like al says you need to work out the offset you need/adapters you will need.

neil.

great, thanks for the replies guys .
Think the offsets are ET55 and ET57? anyway I'll let you know the outcome.
cheers.

In that case that isn't so bad, you're spacers will be approx 25mm which will give you an overall ET of 30/32.

The only thing that might catch you out is the inside of the wheel/tyre rubbing on the spring/spring seat. The right choice of lowprofile/stretched rubber can solve this if the contact is not too severe.

Let us know how you get on!
