Default Standard wheelsize for an early 944?

I'm thinking about getting some wheels this summer, maybe some Fuchs. What were the original wheel sizes that came on 944's with Fuchs?

I think it's 15x7" all around. The 15x8" was an optional Sport package.

hmm our '83 has 15x7 and 8

all it lists in the drivers manual is cast 7's all around, and optional forged 7 and 8's, or optional forged 16x7's all around. i have a set of each of those coincidentally (well, waiting on one 15x7 fuchs wheel), but as far as i've known any fuchs in 15" came with 7 front 8 rear.

Well, I sent an email to wheelenhancements for prices on both the x7's and the x8's, so it's covered. I just had no clue what the widths were.

The 15x7's were standard equipment cast Cookie Cutter ATS wheels. The Fuchs were available as an extra cost option in 15x7's and 15x8's.

I don't remember the 16" Fuchs being available in the early cars as I recall them first appearing on the 951. But, I'm old and misremember a lot.

Let us know what Wheel Enhancements wants for the Fuchs!
