17"x7.5 ( ET53 )

Dazed by the wheel fitment info out there..will Cayenne wheels fit a 84-944 with spacers? anyone seen them on a 944 or reference a picture somewhere?
thanks for any info...

Serge944

Sure will. They have the same 5x130 bolt pattern. A 1.5" spacer will bring it flush with the fenders. For the rear, you can even go 2".

Jakerx

which caynenne wheels are you referring to?

Homer

Hi..thanks for the info...the stock 17" cayenne wheels look nice...does anyone know if the touregs have the same bolt pattern?

Havent seen them mounted but I am about 99% sure they are going to weigh a ton. Wheels are built to handle a load and a Cayenne is a substantial load. I would love to test fit a set but alas, I dont know anyone with a Cayenne anywhere near me.

good point on the weight!! never thought of that...I will see if there is any info out there...

thf944

i heard that they are the same bolt pattern.

Danno

I bet those wheels weigh 2x as much as a set of 16" Fuchs...

...if not more

hmm. i'll work on finding specs.

Does anyone know of a site that explains what wheels can be used on 944 87 na. I have heard that the offset can be an issue with the different models and years. For instance can I use 951 87 phone dials on an 944 87 na?

Serge944

Learn what offsets mean and how to use them. A website listing every wheel is unnecessary.

To calculate change in offset when going to different width wheels:

And yes, 87 951 wheels will fit a 944 no problem.

Interesting link thanks. I was under the imperssion that having wheels in different offset positions could change the handling and also prematurely add wear and tear on certain hardware pieces. I.e a positive offset could actually could wear out bearings and tires prematurely. Is this not true?

I emailed wheel enhancements on this issue, about the 17" cayenne wheels... Here's the reply:
Devon, the 7.5x17" Factory Cayenne wheels weigh approximately 27 pounds each. Please call us at (310) 836-8908 or e-mail us if you have any additional questions.

Thank you, Dave - Wheel Enhancement

27 pounds!!!!!

have fun with that on a 944....

Serge944

Using common sense alone, I think that a wheel with zero offset would be ideal. Can anyone confirm?

I wander what a cup2 weighs. I have a set at the shop so I will drop one on the UPS scale tomorrow. I know they are REAL heavy compared to the 16" Fuchs.
I bet it weighs around 20 lbs minimum.
