How do i go about doing this? Is it a simple job??

Car will have a disced rear beam, does that help??

Whats the PCD of the 5 stud?

Also will this affect offset etc? I want to fit a set of Porsche Design 90s hence the 5 stud conversion!

By 'Porsche Design 90s' I assume thes are a Porsche wheel.... If so...

Well the PCD of these is very high, so converting to a vauxhall 5-stud pattern will be a waste of time.

I recently helped a mate fit some 'Porsche Telledial' wheels to his mk1 golf, and we used some simple spacer/adaptors which did the 4 to 5 stud conversion and spaced the wheel to the correct position (cost approx 120 for the converters).

I would imagine you would have to do something similar to this....and vw 4stud is the same pcd as vauxhall.......

If you are lucky, the central groove in the tyre might line up with the arch lip!
