1988 924s what's my offset???

[joeythesquid]

i want to use 16x7 and 16x8/9 fuchs for my gt conversion but i dont know what offset(s) will fit. early/late 911, 944 turbo, non-turbo? i'm aware of the "86.5 and up offset...will i need spacers? or is there a company out there who makes them ready to bolt on for my specs?

Your 924S needs a late offset rim, 52.3mm. However if you are running wide body fenders (similar to that of a 944) you might be able to get away with early offset wheels.

so when i hear "early offset" does that apply to all models? 911, 944 ...etc

The reason for the introduction of the late "wider track" offset was ostensibly to allow the fitment of ABS, but as this trickled through the different product ranges at different times, you need to look at each model individually. In 944s/924Ss, this means the change to 52.3 mm, and no more Fuchs as standard fitment

With out the GT Flares you can get 7x16 front and 8 X 16 rear
Use 225x50-16 tires and 245x45-16 tires
Would need to roll fender. Also will need to quick tie the Parking brake cable to the brake line to clear inner rim. (both sides)
If you put that killer diller GT Kit.. Well. I would think something like 11x16's with 315's in the rear and 275 in front. At least that's the folk lore. Should be same hunting as the 944 with the +2" wide fenders.

FYI the 16" Fuchs can't fit Big Reds Brakes. Would need the 17"
944 85.5+ and Turbo's have ABS offset 52-55mm. Earlier had 23.5 (would need the 25mm spacer with them.

Also think 911's before 89 had the same offset as late 944's.
