Late or early?

Early offset (22.3) 16'' Phone Dials would be from 1986 951s, everything after that year are late offset (52.3 mm). Visual indicators are the deep dish look of early 16'' offset, compared to the flatter late offset ones (picture above).

Well, hopefully they would be late offset as he has a late offset car and those are the ones that would fit.

If they turn out to be early offsets and you can't use them let me know!

Yes they are 52 which im 99 % sure is late offset. Im trying to see if 16" would look too big on a stock 944. Also whats a good tire on use with them ?

Early offset, but you can use as comparison if you are only interested on what 16" PD's look like.


Although my car isn't exactly "stock".

Search on my user ID. There is a photo of mine with the late offsets. I have 245 45's I think, but they are track tires. Mine's really low too.
