Default Porsche rims onto a dc2

I have some 7in wide 15" enkie 92's i want to put on my dc2, they are from a porsche so are 10 offset and are 5x130. As you probably all know the itr's are 114.4x5 (or 114.3 i cant remember right now).

How can i get these on without them sticking out too much, now i like the low offset look and probably would settle with a 0 offset.

Is it possible to get the inside of the wheel machined slightly to help the offset and get spacers or redrill the hubs, or would both be neccasary.

ANY imput appreciated, thanks in advance

if you are already at 10 offset on the wheels then your wheel w/ the adapter on will come out to negative 15mm

you will need major fenders mods and/or fender flares to get them to work. to be honest, i'd rather sell those wheels and get some that will fit a lot better

if you have a shop perform a redrill w/ inserts then the pattern will come out 7.5 mm on each hole and will create an oval affect and will cut into the wheels hub and may affect integrity .

i mean would it be possible to redrill the cars hubs and re sit the lugs? or machine the hub of the wheel 25mm to compensate for the spacer??

and NO on the shaving of the back hub 25mm .. the most i have seen/had shaved was 5mm and that hub was huge

Why couldnt i machine the wheel hub down 25mm? im sure there is more than enough there to be more than strong enough.

Also found this thread regarding drilling the hubs:

I will go to nearly any lengths to get these to fit my car, iv wanted them for years!!!

Sell them and get something that will fit. Or sell you honda and buy a Porsche.

That shouldn't be remarkable, considering they're the same make/model.

do or think what you like but not until you talk to a pro about this all your ASSumptions are just pipedreams.

good luck fitting wheels that you could probably find in 5x114 . trust me, i have found wheels 100 times more rare than those...does that make me better than you?..NO it does not...it just shows that if I can do it then YOU can as well..

like i said before ..SELL THOSE WRONG SIZED WHEELS AND BUY SOMETHING THAT WILL FIT YOUR CAR.

OMG so rare..i just found a set in the right pcd in like 2 seconds (sold i guess):

and some here available still:

a pair

good luck man

Thanks for the input but i got these rims for 50quid ($100) the [freak]ers cost me 250quid ($500) to get them to me so im not prepared to shell out more for a set of the same wheels when i could spend a fraction of the price and get these to fit.

Thanks again but il let you know how my pipedreams turn out
