Default Will 993 wheels fit 944?

Hey guys, xpost from the 993 board. I am selling my OEM Cup II wheels. Part number 993.362.128.00/Rear/ET55/9jx17 front is 993.362.124.00/ET55/7jx17. I have a guy w/ a 944 that wants to buy them, but is unsure if they will fit. You guys are the experts. He is worried about "lug nuts". Any thoughts?

Big nuts, funny. i believe the 993s work with the later 944 offsets.

Not stock ones... 993 and 944 lugnuts are the same Porsche P/N.

The 944 must be MY1987 or newer. MY1986 and older has a much lower offset (23mm).

Theyll fit all 944's with stock bolt patterns, even the early offsets. The only problem with the early offset cars (MY86 and older) is that they will sit in about an inch. A spacer can cure this problem.

21mm front and 28mm rear, fills them out quite nicely
