I agree. I bought a set, but the fronts won't fit on my late offset car. The wheels are 52mm offset, but the hub on the front of my 87 944 won't clear the bore in the 16x6 wheel. They'd work fine on an early offset car with spacers for late offset wheels though. That what how they were used on the guy that I bought them from's car.

I put them up for sale on the rennlist classifieds if anyone is interested...



The car/wheels pictured are not mine, I don't have a pic of them installed on my car.

yep, they're oem. But they're for 964s (911 C2s) with a much smaller front hub.

Do you have 16x6 up front?

Yeah, they're 16x6 up front. Which was fine until I tried to put them on and they bound up about 1/2" before they should. But I'm already a 52mm hub (as is your 87 951) so no room for spacers.

I like the chrome, but would prefer a gunmetal powdercoat.

BTW, the chrome on my wheels is flaking at the base of each spoke. Its not too obvious when they're on the car, but you'll see it if you're looking for it.
