5x100 - 5x130 adapters should be OK.

Fronts should fit easy. Adapters less than 30mm thick on the front should still tuck. I'd use 25mm on the front.

Rears might be a little trickier - 20-25mm adapters should keep it tucked in or at least flush with the fender, but I wouldn't be sure when it comes to suspension clearance. 30mm or thicker adapters will start poking it out (30mm will get it looking similar to how my steelies sit).

205/40R17 both front and back and you should get adequate clearance. I wouldn't go larger.

Nice find on the wheels by the way! Sick wheels.

i reckon 20-25mm for the rear too, i'm running 17x8 +25 and they clear my 50mm coilovers by 15mm with still another (approx)8mm to the outer gaurd though the front will need 35-40mm to be flush, i had 30mm on my et44 17x7's . . .

if the price stays nice n low, do eeeeet!

Hahaha you ahole!

They were 16s Porsche 928s running 215/40s with 30 and 40mm adaptors while scrubbing on the back

I was looking at Prosche wheels for my car, seems that unless you get the wheels damn cheap it can get pretty expensive to get the adaptors (good adaptors)... and thats before you consider the legality of using spacers/adaptor plates.

In the end I was looking at a set of custom wheels in a Porsche Turbo Twist style from Oz Wheels in St Marys, although their website no longer exists so the photo's aren't there

Either way they were $2600 and customer made to any pattern or offset you wanted, so perfect fit
Full three piece wheels ... oh so sexy... one day...
So basically this style but three piece:
