Hi guys. Looks like I'm picking up an 82 924t with 16" flat 928 style wheels (don't know what they're called). Much prefer various 944 wheels, like phone dials or even the older 911 spoked wheels. Anybody know if the offsets etc will work? TIA, Ron.

Anything with a 52-55mm offset will work on the skinny cars. The stock 'trash cans' with an anodized finish are quite nice. The 928's version are heavier, and have a slightly deeper dish to them. Early 944 'cookie cutters' won't work, they have a 23mm offset.

What Grenadiers said. 911 "fuchs" are the wrong offset.

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

Fuchs with an ET23 works front and rear for me. Cookie Cutters with an ET23 works for Cedric. Both on 924t's

Yep, Fuchs are well-proven on 924T's.

I must have had mine on for well over 10 years now.

7" rears ET23

6" fronts ET36

Jupp, works fine, I run wihtouh spacer at the back though. But If i roll the lip it will probably work with spacer.

But this setup can look a bit odd if you have 0 camber up front (why would anyone want that on a sports car?). Then the 6" fronts would probably be a more sensible choice to get the wheels inside the front wings.

Its a little tight up front, but it works

I don't understand, I thought they rubbed the fenders. And without the rear spacer do you need special lugnuts to tighten the rims down?

My bad then, they do fit. Would the below rims be a direct bolt on for a street car with factory suspension?

7x16 ET23 rear

6x16 ET36 front

I have 7*15 Fuchs ET23 with Yokohama 205/50 all round on my 924S-88.
2 degrees negative camber and the front wheels clears the fender.

Proof above that they "fit," but they certainly aren't ideal. Don't get me wrong, I love the look and understand why people install them, but they are not the correct offset. With late offset wheels, you can get an extra inch per corner of rubber under the car, yes?

Fuchs wheels is for trackday use. They are lighter, smaller diameter gives better acceleration, and wider track enhanches grip.
My roadwheels is the frontwheels from a 996, 7*17 Et55 with Bridgestone RE002 205/50*17.
