Probably, the 911 part # leads me to believe they will. Find out the offset....if it's 23.3 you're all set. I think that most 911 wheels up to 1989 have the same 23.3 mm offset that 944s up to 86 need.

Yes. They look cool. Recently learned you cannot use big brakes, (4 pot) with the 911 16 inch Fuchs though. Not enough clearance.

Yes, those are the same wheels we have on our '85.5.
What he has listed as AS1082 should read A510.62 on the 8" wheels, and A310.62 on the 7's. The 911 part numbers are correct.
I wish there were more great 15" tire choices, but the Fuchs are a nice upgrade that's for sure.

All good, as Brian shares. The offsets are actually 23.3 for 7's and 10.6 for 8's in the rear, as the 85.5-86 cars did away with rear spacers used on earlier 944s with 15x7's. My autocross/track car was a rocket with 15 x 8 Fuchs on all four corners shod w/ Hoosier 225/45/15's. With this configuration you get the added advantage of about an inch less overall tire diameter to improve handling and add some spunk to the rear gear ratio.
Using 16's now and I'm really not sure the set-up is a good as the 15's...even with wider 245's now on the rear.
