CSP vented brakes and Porsche Wheels...

OK fellow GLer's,
I've got a 1973 Superbeetle with the 3 bolt suspension. I've upgraded the front brakes to the CSP vented kit with Euro disc brake spindles as well as Topline adjust-a-struts and tapered sport springs. The kit is supposed to increase the track by 6 to 10mm per side.
I was planning on running Porsche 2.0l alloys (15X5.5 with an ET of 35 or 40) with 185/65 tires. Unfortunately, this doesn't fit - the tires hang out past the fenders by about 1" (25mm), gangsta style. Before I get into modifying the fenders, I figured I'd do a little research on other Porsche wheels.
If I change the rotors to the 5X130 bolt pattern, which Porsche wheels would I be looking at that have appropriate ETs to tuck the the wheels under the fenders a little more.

BTW, who else out there is using the CSP vented kit on your 1302/1303 and what wheels are you using?

Thanks,
Brian
