Mine were ET 55 on the rear. I did run 20mm but could have got away with 15mm for minimal poke.

Mine are 7 front and 8.5 rear with ET55 and 25mm adapters on the front and ET50 and 20mm adapters on the rear.
Running a 195/40 on the front and 205/40 on the rear.
But mine dont have the line running round the rim so not sure if these are off a different model or maybe not genuine Porsche???

A lad on a local forum messaged me asking for sizes of adapters and tyres to fit a set on his Polo. The sizes didnt match up for my wheels with his and I noticed that his have the line on them. Also noticed that on mine the spokes dont go flush into the centre of the wheels, they look like this
