Do the replica Fuchs fit 944s?

Doug&Julie · 02-13-2011, 08:46 AM

Do these replica Fuchs fit the 944 ('83-86) cars? ..including the 944 Turbo? Are they correct offset for 7" front and 8" rear?

(Sorry for the non-Pelican link...I couldn't find them here after just a quick search?)

Thanks!

Edit: OK so the link doesn't work

They are the Euromeister replica wheels.

Yes. I have heard serious concerns about quality/weight of those wheels, but that may have been snobbery. I have seen a few up close and they look nice to me.

Yes they will if they are the rigth offset (83-86)Euromeister are one of the best Fuch replica for our cars. You can get them with the polish outer lip but will take longer since they have to (special order them)

Their web page states "Except Turbo", so they only fit Non-Turbo cars.

1965 - 1988 PORSCHE 911 Rear Only
1989 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA Rear Only
1976 - 1989 PORSCHE 911 (930) Rear Only
1983 - 1986 PORSCHE 944 (Except Turbo), Rear Only

Cheers,
Larry

Thanks all. Larry what does "rear only" mean from their website? (Was that just for the 8"?)

I've heard to be cautious when buying Fuchs replicas, but have heard from a few people who have these and say they've been good wheels. It would be on a road car, not a track car. Just researching the idea of doing a 924 Carrera GT look-a-like.

What your buying is 7x16 front & 8x16 rear ,the outer lip on the 8" will be a little wider than the 7".That will be the rigth size for your 924 Carrera GT look alike.

if you're going to go to all that trouble, get 8's and 9's not 7's and 8's. i've had the 9's on my wishlist for a while now.

afaik the dish on the 8" wheel is only deep on 930 type fuchs. the dish on factory 8" x 16" 944 fuchs is the same as 7" x 16" fuchs so always check before you buy. 9" fuchs were a factory option for 930's and are fairly rare.
