951 offset wheel question

[Want to be]

Ok, i am sure this topic has been brought up more than a dozen time. I have searched Rennlist and Pelican with details on the correct offsets.

My problem is, everybody seem to have a different recommendation.

Ok...i'll stop rambling...

I am looking at putting on my 1986 951 a set of twist 996 wheels.

I believe they are 17" 7 and 9's. The wheel offset on the 996 wheels are 55mm ( i think)

My phone dials offset is 23.3.

So how much of a spacer do i need for the front's and rears?

I have seen someone say 25 mm all around.

Anyone have these wheels on there 944? Post a picture and advise of what your offset is and where you purchased the spacer sets.

THANK JPC

I think most people use 1" spacers (really close to 25mm) at least that's what alot of racers use for adapting late wheels to early hubs!

As a side note, you should come up this way for the midwest get-together in August! (Check out the sticky)
