Most relatively new Porsche wheels have mega high offsets (50-60) so there's usually room for 20mm of adaptors before you even need to worry about arch scrapage.
Do some measuring, you may well get away with the wider ones at the rear.

Ah, OK. So, looking at these wheels, the 7" wide fronts are ET55 offset and the 8.5" rears are ET50, so if I used these adaptors in a 20mm width (bearing in mind that the Leon wheels are 7" wide, ET42), that should roughly work...? |

The fronts will sit pretty much the same, the rears will stick out 30mm more than stock (and further in 7mm) but I reckon you'll be perfectly fine if you don't use tractor tyres. Maybe look at some 18s or some that are a bit wider? I'd be going for 8.5s all round personally (I ran 8.5 et15 on my Lupo, so you'll piss 8.5 et 30 all round on a Leon!)
