924s complete strut assembly on early 944
I am trying to get my early 944 up and running smoothly. I found a 924s at the junk yard and pulled the complete front strut assembly. Including hubs and spindles. However I did more research and even though the 924s uses the same control arms it has a 52 offset. Early 944 has a 23 offset. So my question, can I just throw the wheels on there or do I need to replace the hubs and spindles with the ones on my early 944?
I searched here and other sites but the threads either had no answer or simply went off subject. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Yes.
The hubs/spindles between a 944/1 and 924S are identical. The 924 uses early offset suspension geometry and late offset wheel spacing [pulling the wheel/tire in toward centerline] simply to clear the narrow body fenders.
Your wheels will bolt up without fitment issues. Happy motoring.
