Would 16" fuchs fit on an earlier 944?
Anyone know if the 16" fuchs would fit on my early 944...its an early 85 and i have 15" fuchs on there right now...I guess the later 944's were fitted with 16" fuchs. If not, is there some kind of spacer or something i could get? I like the 16's better anyway.

I'm pretty sure the 16s would fit no problem

Make sure they are the correct offset and width. Fuchs came in many different configurations.

The backspacing you will need is 125mm/4.92". The offset is 23.3mm/0.92". I think there are 7JX16 out there with this early offset but I don't know about 8JX16. Anyone out there know? good luck! Larry

yes, the 8x16's will also work on the rear. Tifosiman might also post up and show you how well the 9's work on the rear
 just get a set of 951 7's and 8's, they should look killer.
