They are a perfect fit for 87- 90 944 cars. With spacers, they will fit an early 944 (83-86).

Late cars are 52.3mm offset and early cars are 23.3mm offset. So a 29mm spacer would be needed.

^they would look silly and your wheel track will be narrower than it should be. you might also have steering issues up front.
