Default Phonedials fitting

I have found a set of phonedials, that are in good shape that I am planning on purchasing for the 944. I just have one question they are 4 16x7's are the 16x7's going to look alright in the rear? anyone have any pics of a car with this setup? The rear tires are 225's so that may help and I also have the factory spacers that came on the rear for use with fuchs, which also may help a little. Anyone?

If they're early PDs, they'll fit...
Late PDs won't.
For the life of me I can't imagine why you'd want PDs if you already have Fuchs, why the downgrade??

Yup they are the earlies, so they will fit and look alright huh?
Dave, no worries, after what you said in the last post I got to thining, not only by using my fuchs are track tires will I save alot of money on tires (15's) but they are also much lighter. The Phonedials will be everyday wheels. Thanks!

Yes they will work fine. Run 225/50 R16's all 4 corners. sure 16x8's are better, but you won't notice the difference in the street.

Save the fuchs for the track. Nice!

Macfreak, totally unrelated to your question as it already has been answered, but...........

What happened to your motor on your 944 at 60K miles to cause the need for a swap? Just curious.

Tifo, It lost oil pressure and spun a rod bearing! I was very suprised, it shouldn't have happend so soon, but the car really does have 60k miles. I am predicting that the engine must have had a really difficult life in its past.
