Fuchs 16x7 Wheel Offset?

I have a set of 16x7s and I was asked if they were 23.3 offset. They are part number 911361020, is there anyway to tell just from the information provided here? Were all 7s 23.3?

Matt, all 16x7's are 23.3mm offset, both 911 and 951 wheels, the 951 wheels just have more brake caliper clearance behind the spokes.

So, could someone with a 951 use 16x7s from a 911?

There wouldn't be enough clearance for the turbo front brake calipers with a 911 16x7 wheel. They probably could on a normal 944 though.

No, all 951 fuchs have the extra clearance, though fuchs weren't used as late as '88.

I'm pretty sure 1986 was the last year for fuchs on the 951. The following year the offset changed and different styles of wheels were used.

But would 911 fuchs work on a 951 non-s?
