Default Rims fit? 1981 911 SC

Does anyone know these rims will fit and 1981 SC. They should fit late 944's (1987 and newer), 951's, 968's, 986's (Boxter) & 996's (Carrera) not sure about the SC? Thanks

With spacers. But 964/968 wheel like that is a whole different offset animal. Torsion bar car should be 7" front with 23mm offset, and 8 or 9" rear with 11mm, right? (Going from memory.)

As Ken says SC/Carrera want 7" or 8" fronts at most, ET for the 7s is usually 23.3, for the 8s 25-31 is best

8" or 9" rears, 8 oem was ET10.6 but it could use a small spacer or lower ET too, 9 was never an oe fit but the 930 ET15 fit like a glove(though some have even spaced these out a few mm). I've seen 10s fitted but it is a nightmare, I use 9.5 ET19 on mine, that ET is perfect for that size and it was still a lot of work to fit them to the car.

Thanks for the comments. Fronts are 16" x 6" with 52 offset, 16" x 8" with 52 offset rears, so looks like not the ideal fit.

I have to put in the comment about looks. I think that large offset wheels such as this do not look "right" on a t-bar 911. YMMV.
