they handle fine . ALOT better than i thought they would i had 15" compomotives on before. thought they would tramline all over but there fine . ride is alittle harsher . ive fitted 195/40/16 tyres tho so that wont help but it gives more clearance

about et60 for porsche wheels, plus 20/25mm adaptors, looking at a et40 or et35 wheel pretty much, rears probs rub a bit.

yeah they'll go on, just watch for rubbing! try and get some stretched tyres on, helps the look and also the rubbing, 195's all round

52.5. Couldnt find adaptors with a vauxhall centre bore but apparently the VW ones are safe enough to use.
