How do these look on a 944? And will they fit without spacers on an 86?

they look like boxster wheels. If they're what I think they are, then yes they should fit provided your 86 has the late offset suspension

check out wheelenhancement.com - I think that they have something similar looking and they would have all the offset/width data that you'd need

Those look like cayenne wheels, can't say for sure.

What I can say for sure is they are late model Porsche wheels, all of which have high offsets, so you will need spacers.


EDIT they are 993 wheels, late offset, your 86 is early offset....

993, cayenne, tomAto, tOmato, whatever....

I thought that some 86's had the late offset?

I could be mistaken on that one though. I know that they changed the interior in 85.5 but the suspension was later

Those are standard 993 wheels. They are "late offset".

late offset- 87

wheels-993/boxster late offset.

you'd need spacers all around.

I think you have it right 993 wheels. I believe they are 16 inch, they look good on your 968.

How do you like them with the spacers? Is it worth the trouble or should I just buy wheels with the early offset?

ATS cookie cutters are super light, just butt-ugly. I didn't know the 993 wheels were heavy. I only used them for one day (those are my friend's wheels on my 968) but I didn't really notice heaviness.
