Can you mount late set rims to an 1984 944 which have early set hubs. I know you can buy wheel spacers, but I was wondering if anyone has actually tried this situation? Does it work and what size of spacers are needed?

If the model above does work does anybody have a set of (4) phone dial rims they want to sell. 15" or 16".

I do know that you can purchase special rims from <a href="http://www.wheelenhancement.com" target="_blank">http://www.wheelenhancement.com</a> that have the late set look, but are molded for the early set hubs.

Thanks

Hey datadigital: Check out the Wheels/Tires section in rennlist's General catagory. To answer your question, yes it's possible. Let's see if this picture works:

Danno is the real expert on this. See his post <a href="http://www184.pair.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/cfg986/944/main.pl?read=3951" target="_blank">here</a> that gives what is needed and how to go about it. I also have a set of 16 x 7,8 phone dials from my 86 951 (early offset), e-mail me if your interested.

Later,
Rob

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the advice.

What wasn't pointed out is that phone dials are available for both the early and late offsets. If this is the wheel you want, a set from an '86 could be used without needing any spacers (like those Rob mentioned).
