I'm trying to sell these but not sure what they will fit. I know they will work for early 944's but will they work with 911's? If so what years? What other models will they fit? Thanks.
Re your statement for "early 944's", you're exactly correct; IIRC, 1986 was the last year for non-ABS 944s - up until then, 944 & 911 took the same offset(s). (And 86 951 8J Fuchs have more clearance for big brakes with front fitment on a 911 than the 911 Fuchs).

911's didn't get ABS until the 964, so any 1989 or earlier 911 can use wheels with the *replica* Cup1 offsets (the "real" Cup1s - eg from Porsche rather than Mille Migia - all have offsets suitable tor ABS) - flares permitting, as HaHa says.

1980 G body was when SC flares were first fitted, 9Js won't fit under stock narrowbody (F body, 1974-1977) or earlier - although models with Carrera, SC/RS, RS/RSR or 930 flares obviously won't have a problem.

I run a set of Cup1 reps with Blizzaks as my winter wheels (retro-fitted SC flares). Heavy but strong. They also clear big brakes on a 911 with tons of room (a lot more than Ruf Classics, which only barely clear front 996 calipers).

HTH.

(Edit: Bah, I should have looked at the date on the OP - bet these wheels are long sold by now )
