I have a set of phone dials that came in on a 87 944 NA that had a two 6jx16 on the fronts and 2 9j16 on the rear? What would these have come off of? Value, Just average rims.

6's and 8's were on the 911 of that vintage, perhaps the 930 of the same year?

Are you certain about that measurement? I haven't seen any 9inch wide phone-dials other than the magnesium turbo cup wheels.

And 930's didn't come with phonies so that rules that out.

IIRC some 80`s 911s came with phone dials.

Perhaps they are off a 928.

I am trying to scrub them up to find a part number for sure but can't see the ?J part. I measured it out to 9"? Maybe my tape measure stretched, giggle giggle.

You measure from the inside of the lips where the bead sits. Not the overall width.

If the tape measure is off, does that make the 6" actually an elusive 5"?
