MY86Carrera

Hey guys... I have not been on the 944 forum for a while - playing over on the air cooled side the past couple years. Anyway started spring cleaning here in Ontario Canada - well it snowed again last night so spring is a relative term. While clearing space in the garage I came across a set of 16" phone dials 7 and 8's ( 86 Turbo ). These are left overs from the 944 days. Just looking for a price point so I can photograph them and post them. Any insite would be helpful.

500$ if in good condition. Maybe 400$ if of lesser.

7 and 8 x 16 phonies from an '86 944 Turbo will also fit 911s.. with rear flares, so safely '78-'89 911s.

Well I would say -no- tires...very old Yoks 032R. Which tells you how old those are

I was thinking the 8's are also 23.3 offset and will require a spacer to fit (fill wheel well) proper.

I have been looking for a set of 16x8" for the last two months and most ads/offers are between $350-$450.

CyCloNe!

true that i listed mine, kinda hard to find buyers that want the early offsets

I will post pics tomorrow - I feel they are very good condition and $300 or best offer is the number.

Thanks to those who posted and provided insight

Agreed.. When I ran 944T fuchs on my 911SC the 7/8 combo "looked" like 6/7" wheels, but I still ran 225f, 245 rear tires. I ended up running 1/4" spacers in rear just cause I had them. But that also means with the offset, they could be squeezed in the front of a 911 as well.. or even massaged to work under the rear of a non-flared 911 (ie, 69-77) . And imho, sometimes Phone dials look funky on a 911 since they are so equated with 944/928 series cars instead.

Judging by this chart, they are only 1lb more than the Fuchs as well:

** actually, this chart indicates that the 951 Fuch and 951 Phone dial are slightly different backspacing amounts, so perhaps thePD won't work well in the front of a 911.. but would work better on the rear of a 911.

I did some searching as well and these wheels (951) also have the extra clearance for the larger caliper. 911 guys will use the 951 Fuch 8's on the front when using larger calipers... so I guess the PD would offer same clearance as well.

thanks for extra info

I may be interested in purchasing your phone dials when you ready. Keep me in mind, Tim.
