Default will these wheels fit?

i saw the new anniversary edition 911 in the showroom and was wondering if those wheels would fit on my 1984 944?

If the 911 is '89 or earlier, the wheels would fit. What kind of wheels are they? What size and offset? That will tell you if they fit or not.

im not sure of the offsets but they are the 18 inch carrera wheels which come stock on many new porsches, and these anniversary wheels are highly polished. Im sure you know what i am talking about now.

You will need spacers, but they can fit. You will probably need to roll the fender lips a bit.

thanks for the help so far, just wondering though if you might know what size spacers are required to fit the wheels? here is a site which has a picture of what wheels i am talking about on a 944. http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/kmininge/944festgallery/pages/IMG_3284.html

The Horsepower farm car was soo cool. I was strapped in about to get a ride when the clutch hydraulics gave out because of air in the system. Oh well...there is always next year.

Well the offset on winslow(horsepowerfarm)'s car is 52.3mm IIRC.

What is the offset of your car?

Take the difference between the two...and thats about the size of the spacer you need.

factory options are listed on the rear verticle panel below the hatch, behind the carpet.
