So I want to switch to a 5x114.3 lug pattern using the 15mm adapter plates.

I am currently running 17x9 ET30 square set up. would like to keep that size but may switch to 18x9 to possibly open up more wheel options.

would i just need to go like ET45 ish on offset? would i run into any fitment issues?

anyone have any experience with this set up and wheel option ideas? thinking of getting Advan RS

BTW i daily and track my car, i would use the wheels primarily as a track wheel x tire combo.

not exactly what you were looking for but I'm running 18x8.5 ET30 Square with no issues on harsh roads.

Why do you want to do this? I'm assuming wheel choices? Also wheel hub adapters aren't the best idea for a track car...and I believe some tracks won't even let you run them, i.e. you'll fail tech inspection.

yes wheel options since I am going for Advan or a Volk set of wheels, but also it wont be like I am pushing my wheel out more than my current set up, also since it is an adapter it is a bolt on time.

so if im running 18x9 +30 now, and i then if run a 18x9 +45 with a 15mm adapter the wheel & contact patch would be in the same location. Porsche even sells 17mm OEM spacers. also the adapter i would use would be hub centric as well. not going EBAY with this kit. I do not see how this could cause any accelerated wheel bearing wear if the wheel is the same distance from the hub.

I understand your thought process, but since you'll be a tracking this, I'd check with whatever sanctioning body you plan on racing with as far as what their rule book says about spacers.
