Default 16x6 D90 fitment question

Anyone have a 16x8 and 16x6 D90 froma 911 installed on their late offset 944? I'm looking to buy a set and was wondering how the fronts fit/look. Pics would be great.

I used to have them on my car, sold them to a VW Dub kid from upstate NY. They fit the car fine but do not fill the wheel wells in perfect.

Dont have to many pictures of them fitted. The biggest downside to the 16x6 wheels is you cant fit much more than a 205 width tire on them.

Thanks guys, how do they handle, and what size tires did you use?

Stock size is 205/55/16. You cant fit anything wider on it really. They are a light wheel, but not an ideal setup due to the small width front. Hard to dial out the understeer.

Here is that combo on my deceased car with highly recommended 3/4" spacers in front and 5/8" spacers in the rear (longer studs needed).
It worked just fine on the street.
