WTB 86 turbo phone dials

[SanDiegoMike]

I have a 1986 turbo I am restoring. I believe the rims that are on it right now are off a Turbo S.
Part number 944.362.113.00 for existing rims. I am looking for the 16 inch phone dials, Fuchs , or another nice-looking rim for the car.
Thanks.

I have an 85.5 (with Early Off Set) and the 86 Turbo Phone's look better than the Late Off Sets, less chance of curb rash as they sit in farther, took a while to find mine but well worth it, good luck in your search

That 944.362.113.00 wheel is 16x6" Sewer Lids, 52.3mm offset.

944 TurboS used ClubSport wheels:

16x7" 951.362.115.30, 65mm offset
16x9" 928.362.119.30, 60mm offset

944 Turbo 1986 used PhoneDials or optional Fuchs:

16x7" 951.362.114.00, 23.3mm offset
16x8" 951.362.116.00, 23.3mm offset

The Fuchs were 951-specific version in 16x7/8":

16x7" 951.362.115.00, 23.3mm offset
16x8" 951.362.117.00, 23.3mm offset

The 16x7/8" 911-Fuchs don't fit since the spokes don't have the clearance for the 951 brakes. Although the 911's 16x9" does fit.

Thanks Danno!

Another interesting tidbid about the '86 951 is the rear-hub. While it uses the same 23.3mm offset wheels as earlier 944 NA cars, it doesn't have the 21mm rear spacer. This causes the rear-wheel to sit a little more inset than the front wheels for a strange look.

On some of my previous '86 951s, I obtained the longer studs and spacers from '83-85 944 NA cars and installed them to balance the wheel-wells. Apparently the '85.5-86 944 NA cars with 23.3mm offset were also deprived of the rear-wheel spacers as well. Strange.
