    Alright, I want to run 5 lug porsche (5-130mm, or 5- 112mm) wheels, and was wondering if it is possible to get either 5 lug bolt pattern adapters, or blank rotors/drums and have them drilled. Is it possible to get this pattern to work on our cars? Are there any good shops to have adapters made?


    Pic related, it's the wheel I want to run:

    Mustang II front suspension on a Race beetle has been a pipe dream of mine for a while, and since I sold my bug to get this maverick, I think porsche rims would look good. You can even get repro fuchs in 17" and 18", but I'm going for 15" all four corners.

    If you run the fuchs 5 spoke wheel...Find a set from a 944. The backspacing will be closer to what you need on a mav than from a 911.The 911 has alot of positive offset.

    now do you really want to put those wheels on a maverick or did you just want to be able to type that.
