What kind of other wheels - there are a ton of aftermarket wheels for these cars that either bolt right in, or bolt right in after using a spacer.

Stolen from the following website:
http://members.rennlist.org/951_racerx/ Since the later '87+ 944/951 wheels have 52.3mm offset (911s/Boxters generally have 55mm offset), you can use spacers to fit those wheels to the earlier cars. Here's a list of Porsche genuine parts that can be used: FRONT WHEELS PART NUMBER QTY DESCRIPTION 911.331.671.00 10 65mm wheel bolts (stock is 45mm) ~ $5/ea 477.501.701 2 21mm wheel spacer (came stock on rear of '82-85 944NA) ~$15-25/ea REAR WHEEL PART NUMBER QTY DESCRIPTION 901.331.671.01 10 72mm wheel bolts (stock is 45mm) ~ $5/ea (pre-'85.5 944NA should use 100mm wheel bolts here) 930.331.611.04 2 28mm wheel spacer (used on rear of 911-turbo) ~20-40/ea OPTIONAL: OPEN-ENDED LUG-NUTS if you want to go back and forth with your old wheels ($20 total) INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FRONT: - remove brake-caliper (look for two LARGE bolts holding it onto spingle) - pry off the hub center dust cap with a screwdriver - you'll see a clamping nut with an Allen pinch bolt. Undo that little bolt a couple of turns (line up little cut-out on the hub to access it) - pull hub off spindle - unbolt brake-rotor bolts and remove from hub (mark position so you can re-install with same orientation. - place large socket on back of hub that will clear head of stud - place socket on anvil or sturdy surface and pound out stud (into socket). - install new longer studs and repeated with deep-reach socket on other side (thread side). This socket bracing is so you don't distort your hub and get vibrations later on. - repack wheel bearings and install hub on spindle. - put hub back onto spindle and adjust tightness of bearing - put hub dust cap bac on - reinstall brake caliper - grind 1/4" bevel on inside of spacer to clear hub cone. REAR on '85.5-86 944NA and '86 951 (can't remove hub because of one-piece pressed-in bearing): - remove brake-caliper - remove brake disc - remove the parking-brake actuator and lower-springs AND the cable - the hole that the cable protrudes from the trailing arm is where the studs will be removed and installed from. - remove the parking-brake cable assembly (there's a metal clip over the pivot-pin, use needle-nose pliers to remove and DON'T lose it inside the trailing arm) - also remove metal hole-cover as well. - then just line up a stud with that hole and pound it out - remove all of them. Then put the new ones in the same way (do one at a time completely) - put the big end into the hole, line up the hub and pull it out. - use a crowbar or big screwdriver pried against the trailing-arm to push out the stud as much as possible - put the spacer on and use an open-ended lug-nut (flat side facing in) with an impact wrench to pull the stud fully outwards and into the hub OR - or you can fit a deep socket over the stud and clamp together with giant C-clamp - repeat for all the studs - re-install the parking-brake cable & actuator assembly - install brake rotor - install brake caliper REAR on pre '86 944NA - before doing anything, loosen giant rear-axle nut - remove brake-caliper - remove brake disc - remove giant rear axle nut - remove rear axle - place large socket on back of hub that will clear head of stud - place socket on anvil or sturdy surface and pound out stud (into socket). - install new longer studs and repeated with deep-reach socket on other side (thread side). - repack wheel bearings and install axle & adjust - install giant axle nut and really tighten it down - install brake disc - install brake-caliper Good Luck! |

wheels
86' 944 turbo wheels are a nice choice for an early car, 8"wide in rear & 7" in front 16" diameter helps fill giant wheel wells
