either a spacer, or find 8" wide phonedial wheels off a 1986 944 turbo for the rear.

Factory used a spacer on the rear of the 86 to mount the optional Fuchs, I see no problem as long as you fit longer wheel studs. It's always best to buy the correct offset wheels as you don't have to deal with a spacer or the studs. The studs are a pain to fit on the rear and, if you ever go back to the correct offset, you have to suffer the pain again when you remove them.

Good to hear. Do the wheels center caps fit with the Eibach spacers?
