Default tire touching rear fender

I change my 15 inch wheel to 16 inch original phone dial rims in my 1989 944 with 225/50/16 tires and it touches the rear driver side fender whenever i get
into a bump /dip....I recently had the rear shocks replaced with original bogey
a year ago.any suggestions????

Maybe rear suspension is soft? 225's should be no problem..
Have you checked the fender to tire difference from drivers to passenger side?

Maybe you have the early 16 phone dials with ET 23.3

Yes, this would be my guess. It sounds like you have early offset wheels on the late offset car.

DO you have any pics of it - that will be a dead giveaway!

does the back of the later 944 have a factory spacer on the back that he may be able to take off?

The 16 inch phone dial rims are indeed from a 1986 944 turbo.If that does it
I thank you guys for the expertise.You guys are great.
It's a litttle far for me to attend the 944 fest.I'm from California, but I'll keep
in touch.
