Porche phone diam rims on fc?

I was just wondering if anyone has ever used these wheels on an fc before, or if you have any input on whether or not they will fit. My ride height is factory, along with all of the suspension. Here is a picture for reference if you dont know which wheels I'm talking about http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-Pho...Q5fAccessories

Lol, they are one of my favorite wheels (wouldnt be staying red though). Thanks for the input, but do you think there is any way to make them fit. The lug pattern on these wheels are 5x130mm, and the fc is 5x114mm?

FC is 114.3mm (4.5"). You could use wheel adaptors, but they are pretty thick and will subtract offset. Those wheels already have a pretty low offset. So lets say the adpators are are 2" thick (they have to be thicker then your current studs), thats 50.8mm and those Porche wheels are -23mm offset. You'd end up with a +27.8 offset which will stick out pretty far needing a fender roll. It would look pretty silly sticking out like that and only being 8" wide with small tires (225 perhaps). You could have a machine shop re-drill and stud your existing hubs, but thats a lot ofmoney and effort for smallish wheels.

Thanks for the help. I love those wheels, but not enough to go through that amount of hassle.
