   right i may aswell ask this, couldnt find it in the search, if u can find sum 4 stud porsche rims with the same pcd would they fit depending on the offset or would you still need an adapter for the centre bore?

   if you could find porsche rims with the same PCD youd need adapters to get the correct offset, and correct centre bore.....
   
   
   but the chances are slim an none tbh

   doubt youd find porsche rims in 4x108 with the et right
   better off getting a similar rim not the proper porsche 1s

   think ive found a set just the centre bore is different so i would still need an adapter made up anyway right?

   unless the bore is smaller than on a saxo
   then you would need it machined out larger
   if its bigger you could run like a spigot ring in the bore to shrink it
   
   what et are they?

   yea youll need hubcentrics to correct the et and centre bore size bud else they will just cause problems.

   na 4stud 108 pcd 7x15" deep dish need to check et think its 16? thought saxo could be between 12-18? maybe lookin at the wrong thing completely understand alloys and tyre but never reli understood offset

    saxos are 15-18 iirc
    
    i have 16et both my sets of wheels (6jX15 and 7jX16)
    7x15 should be sound

    they would stick out a mile!
    Be worth more than the car
    and it would look like a monster truck
    
    three reasons to do it right there

    if they are 4x108 et16, they are a perfect fit for a saxo. dont listen to all the shit above.
    
    the bore can be sorted either way. if its too big you can use spigot rings, if its too small you can get the machined out. no need for any adaptors of any kind.
    
    didnt know you could get porsche wheels in that fitment tho?
    
    spigot rings are very cheap. to get them machined shouldnt cost too much either.

    #21 27th August 2008, 23:09

    they will if they are the fitment he has said they are which is the only info we have to go on at the mo.
    
    obviously if they are a different size it will be different.

    true. i've never heard of porsche wheels being 4x108 but then again i dont know all wheel fitments.
    
    hopefully for him they are what he's said they are.

    And look just like 90% of other Saxo's on here. Im bored of vts rims personally, im sick of seeing them (no offence people) Get to an eng. firm dude & see what they say. I've no doubt it can be done, it'll just take some effort. But then, altering your car is called modifying for a reason!

    unfortuntley i went down the vts alloys route, but ye as i said there r some old 4 stud porsche rims that run 108pcd and near correct with offset, but most look crap, apart from the set i found which where sweet 7x15", the guy confirmed, yes they where the fitment stated in the ad, would have probably needed to get the centre bore machined though.

    just the centre bore was different in the end 57.0 on the porsche compared to 65.0 on a saxo, dont know wheather you could solve this cheaply?everything else was spot on e.t was 15, pcd was 108, and wheels where 7x 15" as previosly stated

    it may have been done yes, lots of alloys have prob went on saxo from other cars, but this was going to be a direct bolt on, if you could sort the centre bores
