I am trying to determine Fuchs wheel firments for my 1986 944 Turbo, and I need some help!
On the Porsche web site, there is a photo of the 1986 "Turbo Cup" car, shown with Fuchs wheels. To find the photo I am referring to, do the following:
- Go to
www.porsche.com and select "USA" from the pulldown
- Mouse over "Accessories & Service" and click "Porsche Classic"
- Click "Classic Models" from the menu at the right
- Click "Racing Cars" from the menu at the left
- Click "Porsche Racing History" at the far right
- Click "Racing Cars" from the resulting menu
- Select "944" from the "select a racing car" pulldown menu
The car that you come to is a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Cup car, shown with Fuchs wheels. (If you want to see a larger picture, click the "experience" tab and you can download a large image...) But looking at the wheels, they appear to be wider than the Fuchs wheels that were available on the road versions. Instead of 16x7's and 16x8's, they look to me like 16x8's and 16x9's or something. Does that make sense?
If so, which Fuchs wheels do I use? I assume I can use the regular 16x8's that go on the rear of the road car on the FRONT of my road car, correct? If so, then which 16x9's do I use on the rear? Or am I missing something? Getting confused?
It wouldn't be the first time...
Thanks in advance,
Paul
