So... I've just come into a set of OEM Fuchs from a 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster (black with matte silver lip). I photoshopped it up and i love the way they look on my grey 944ti. To make a long story short, I know I'll need adapters to make them fit bolt pattern-wise, since I have a huge problem re-drilling such a ludicrously expensive wheel, but the offset is where i get confused. The front offset (according to the Porsche dealership) is 23.3mm, and the rear is 15mm. My question is then, what size spacers should I run in order to make sure these will fit (fender rolling and lining removal aside)?

Thanks for any info you could provide.

BTW, before you go telling me to sell them and buy nicer wheels in 5x108, these came off of my fathers car, and since it's his doing that I love all things european and automotive, I want to keep these as a nod to him. Kind of a "I owe him for being who I am, and I am a lucky sonofabitch to have him as my dad" sort of thing every time I look at my car.

the minimum thickness on a set of adapters is goinng to be 18-20mm

your going to need 14x1.5mm studs (not many options available)
the lug nuts cost $10 each new
or run on ebay for $30-50 a set used

with an adapter of just 20mm
your looking at ET3 for the fronts and ET-5 for the rear
I cant imagine you not having to roll the fenders to make them fit
as the rims are going to be sitting out a fair bit further than they ever would stock

these are what the rims look like for anyone wondering

they come in all sorts of sizes including
15x6-9
and 16x6-11
depending on the trim level and year of the 911 they came on

1st off, re-drilling the rim would be the dumbest idea ever..... :-P

but the offset is where i get confused. The front offset (according to the Porsche dealership) is 23.3mm, and the rear is 15mm. My question is then, what size spacers should I run in order to make sure these will fit (fender rolling and lining removal aside)?

without knowing the wheel width, the offset is numbers are useless, that being said, sounds like 16x7 and 16x8's but could be 16x9s for the rear....

Those would look amazing on a Black 242! ;-)

Those are the same style, but like i said up top, flat black centers and a silver lip. like this-

and these measure 16x8 out back and 16x7 in the front if I'm not mistaken. I'll measure when I get home from work. Thanks for everyone who's taken the time to respond so far, it's really appreciated.

That would be awesome. :-D Good luck, hit up dale for adaptors.
