The Factory Fuch's are only available in offset of 23mm or less. From 87 on, the 944 used a higher offset to accomodate the ABS.... around ~55mm. You may be able to get an aftermarket look-alike custom made.

Check Wheel Enhancement, or search for a HRE distributor.

Good Luck! And, welcome to Rennlist!

TurboS wheel upgrades are limited since you've got 65mm front offset and 60mm rear. Some people have tried pre-'89 52.3mm offset wheels, but they'll rub the fenders and you'll be limited to 7/8" widths (a downgrade from your 7.5/9" wheels).

Here are some aftermarket Fuchs-style wheels:

I recommend a set in 17x9/10" with 75mm front offset and 65mm rear (puts most of extra width on inside).
