Default Phone Dials for 1989 951

Which 16" phone dials do I need for a 1989 951? Part numbers? Offsets? Anyone have a set for sale? Thanks.

Why would you put a set of phone dials on an '89? Just curious? Not that phone dials are bad :-)

There were no 16x9 phone dials as far as I know to replace the rears for an 89. Otherwise, any 87+ 16" phone dials will fit.

You just 87+ turbo phones. You will be stepping down to 7/8 in wide wheels from the factory turbo S wheels.

As far as I know, Phone Dials will not fit over the brakes in the front. That is why Phone Dials were not availible from the factory in 89.

I have never tried the fronts so I am not sure if the fronts will fit. Has anyone tried it?

I want the phone dials b/c I like the way they look...most of the time....just seeking variety! I thought that I had seen a set on a Turbo S, but maybe not....was hoping someone else had tried this fitament. Call me crazy, but I like the phone dials!

No, I don't care to trade. I should have named the thread "show me your alternative to the factory Turbo S wheels." OK fellow Turbo S owers, SHOW ME YOUR WHEELS!

I have a standard Turbo but I have to say that one of my favorite wheels are C2 turbos. Here is a pic of mine and I know they will fit on an S. I also have a set of early phone dials, which in my opinions look a lot better than the late ones because they have a left, unfortunately you can only run them on 1986 cars.

ubercooper, do you know the offsets? I would think that I could use spacers and possibly clear the turbo brakes? no?

NA or turbo? Phone dials do not fit over M030 brakes.
