15 phone dial question
Does a 15 phone dial with a 52 offset fit a 1991 944 s2 ?

Good question. I think the brakes are too big.
If I have time and think of it - I can test for sure. If I do, and it does - I will get back.

No, the Brembo calipers will not fit inside the 15" rim.

Hey Kevin, have you physically tried this?
A few years ago I tried and my 15in Fuchs wouldn’t clear but iirc 15in phone dials did clear the Brembos. Need someone to try again to confirm this as Ive now sold my pd’s.

The only 15" PD that clears the non-M030 brakes is the early offset 15x7 with the 951 P/N. It is the wheel designed for early Turbos. IIRC, MY85 Turbos came with these 15s.
FWIW, it clears statically. I can't say if it ends up rubbing the caliper due to deflection from large cornering forces. Presumably Porsche tested this, but modern tire technology would bring higher cornering forces which may bring greater deflection.
It is the only one I know of, however I have been told the Jongbloed 15" wheel clears as well. FWIW, I doubt any 15" wheel can clear M030 brakes.
IIRC other 15" PDs have an inner barrel radius that is too small.
Nope!
