    ive recently purchased a set of porsche cup wheels 7.5x18 front and 9x18 rear! I know that vw fitment is 5x100 and that will need to be changed to porsche fitment which is 5x130 but obviously they come in different spacer sizes 20mm, 25mm etc. Can anyone tell me which ones i need? Or point me in a direction of someone who does? Cheers steven

    I was running

    Audi A8's: 8jx18 et48

    FK adapters 5x112 to 5x100 (30mm)
    so I was running et18 with the adapters

    They tucked in very nicely on my MK4 golf, had it decked on coilovers and had no rubbing issues then I went to H&R Cup kit (raised but better handling) no issues.

    30mm would give you a new et22 rear and et20 front
