No chance but u can wait for the 2009 SL wheels that look exactly like 997 TT wheels.

Those will bolt right on.

Its possible to put them on...not recommended, but possible. Most Porsche wheels have a high offset (around 50).
You can buy a 20mm 5x112 to 5x130 adapter/spacer and bolt the wheels on. A few Audi guys are doing this.

i think its 11 inches the rear ....

do u think it will be unsafe to put spacers on a sl 55 ?

with the car being lowerd ... will it rub with spacers ?

how much are spacers and where can i get these . ?

if this is possible and not to heavy , i mite just do this mod . im very original . plus i like to be very artistic and i see alot in common with these porsche wheels on a SL.

hey thanks for trying .... atleast u gave me some info which ive checked today and rite now .

rite now i just wanna see if its possible and safe to put these porsche wheels on a sl 55.

If not , then i have to get something almost the same looking .. the split 5star rims were pretty close looking . but it has to much deepdish for my liking .
