17" cup rims on early 944
I have an '83 944 that I wish to mount 17" Cup II rims off of a 968.
The cup rims have an offset of 55mm
Can anyone help me with ideas? I think I just need spacers to make these work ok! Thanks

This is from several years back, so the pricing may have changed...
Wheel Shopping List for mounting late model wheels on 86 951
The wheel offsets are stamped right on the wheel. As for putting post-'86 (late-offset 52.3mm) wheels on your '86 car (23.3mm early-offset) here's a parts list:
FRONT WHEELS
#911.331.671.00 (10) 65mm wheel bolts (stock is 45mm) ~ $5/ea
#477.501.701 (2) two 21mm wheel spacer (came stock on rear of '82-85 944NA) ~$25/ea
REAR WHEEL
#901.331.671.01 (10) ten 72mm wheel bolts (stock is 45mm) ~ $5/ea
#930.331.611.04 (2) two 28mm wheel spacer (used on rear of 911-turbo) ~50/ea
OPEN-ENDED LUG-NUTS $20 total
The whole set-up should cost you about $270. When you want to put your stock wheels on, just remove the spacer and use the open-ended lug-nuts.
That's a cut and paste from several years ago. Since you have an 83 you will not need to buy the front spacers - just move them from the rear to the front. You WILL still need the longer wheel bolts in front. Not sure on the rear though.
