Default 944 wheel fitment te37

Could a 84 porsche 944 accommodate:

Front: 18x8.5 ET50

Rear: 18x10.5 ET40

tires:
215/35/18 Front. LOW PRO/stretch
245/45/18 Rear. Low pro/stretch

I would be willing to roll fenders and maybe slightly pull them.

I am running 18x8.5 ET 47 up front with no issues.

I think those rears will definitely need guard work and spacers.

gotta love TE37s

To top it all, the only thing that would be more fitting is if they happened to be Takata Green.

How about these? Don't think they'll fit a 944 though (19x12 rears).




And here are some updated pictures of mine after the suspension was adjusted. These are ET50 front, ET60 rear. I think the 50 might fit in the rear and would look a bit better.

To fit the front you'll either need to fit a 17mm or so spacer or modify the wheel by removing the center cap lip in order to get it around the hub. I went the latter route cause I hate spacers.
