If it was built 8/86 or later, then it is an 87 model year, and you need 87 parts.

10th number in the VIN will indicate year. G will be an 86, H will be an 87.

Exactly as drift a 944 says. F is 85 and J is 88. Offset on the 87 would be 52.3mm while the 86 would be 23.3mm. The differences are obvious.
