Red face Have still open wheel question

I can't belive that none of you have experience of putting new offset wheels to older offset car.Here's my question i put onto list few days ago:
"I have a set of 1988 951 flat Dish wheels which a friend of mine would like to put into his 1984 944.Since 1984 uses 'old' offset we need to have spacers.Do you guys know where i can get good spacers??? Without spacers the wheels are too deep and car looked quite funny !"

Hei Olli,

Since you are in Finland, I would check Free Technics in Kaarina: http://www.ftech.pp.fi They specialize in Porsches and have the spacers you need.

It may be easier to get the factory 20mm spacers from a wreckers yard. These were used on the rear of all the early 944's. You will also need longer studs, the spacers that use a double stud arrangement are dangerous and should not be used as the nuts can not be checked without removing the wheel.
