   i very much doubt it, could maybe get some place to make custom hubcentric spacers as there is no way the rears would fit anyway be well to wide

   Yeh you could get some spacers made, but as said above the rear wheels on a porche and mahoosive! would be way too wide.

   too much hassle involved with 5 stud to 4 best off sticking to 4 stud bud!

   It can be done, there is a company round here(midlands) that alters wheels and stuff, cant think why on earth you would want to put porsche wheels on a saxo though. The wheels will be worth more than the car.

    If 4stud VeeDubs mainly Mk1/2 Golfs can be converted to run 5stud Porsche wheels anycar can but you have to ask is the cost worth the rewald?
    
    Only you can answer that.
    
    So in short it probally CAN be done but would be very expensive.
