951 Fuchs on an 85 911

[robear51]

I have picked up some wheels from a 951 that were too good to resist. The front wheels are stamped 8J X 16 with 951362117 and 23.3. offset with the foxhead. The rears however only have 16X, MAX WHEEL LOAD 1580 LBS, AWEC, AND DOT T stamped in them, but are wider and run 245/45/16 tyres. Firstly are these genuine fuchs? they look like a complete set but not sure as there are no other identifying stamps that I can see.

Secondly, can I put these on my 85 911? From what I have read I can but no real definitive answers. The car came with Simmons 16" wheels so I would like to get it original again

Thanks in advance

Yes, you will be able to use the, the 8s are factory, rears sound like 9X16 fakes, cause they would have a 9jX16 and a 911 part number. Any pix??

Yes. It is a great option and will allow use of bigger calipers.
