When I first got my '87 944S it had early offset 16x7 fuchs on it for the track. They were spaced out 3/8" in the front to clear the turbo brakes. They didn't rub, but the car is running -2.0 degrees camber in the front. They didn't look quite right so I sold them and replaced them with 928S4 wheels for the track.

I'm guessing Lindsay Racing could easily make a set of 17" fuchs to fit a late offset 944.
