I know wheel questions are covered all the time and i tried to look for this a little. I'm looking for 16'' phone dials for a 924S, i would like the 7'' fronts and 8'' backs...Of the various phone dials on the 944, what can i use?
Or just generally what 16'' phone dial will fit...
Thanks!

This is what i found: http://members.rennlist.org/951_race...tockSizes.html

So i guess what offset will fit? front and back...23.3mm or 52.3mm?

 

IIRC, your 924S has the 23.3mm offsets. (You don't have ABS, right?)

That means you can use either the early (23.x) offset wheels, or the late offset wheels (52.3 and 55mm). Note that is you use the late offset wheels, you will need to use spacers to accomodate for the greater offset.

On your current wheel, you should see a stamped set of numbers like (7J x 15 ET 23.3) The 23.3 is the offset.

my thought was that the 924s' are the late offset, and were fine to be using phone dials from a late turbo car ~ 87. if they're early offset they'd need pd's from an 86, the early offset (same as fuchs and cookie cutters) if so i know someone who's interested in a set of 7" all around x 15 phone dials.

24S's are definately late offset cars. You can squeeze a 7 on the front and an 8 will fit the rear no problem. You will need 52.3mm offsets for sure though.

 

Yep,
The 924S needs the 52.3 mm offset to fit inside the fenders.
Watch your front tire size to make sure you don't contact the spring on the inside.

 

Opps, my mistake: I thought the 924S used the old (early offset) hubs.
Sorry,

Thanks for the replies...so what i need is 16x7(52mm) phone dials for the front and 16x8(52mm) right?
Now that i have the info i just need to find these, how much do they normally sell for? Anyone know of a set for sale?
Thanks!

Fronts should have a 55mm offset, but a 52.3mm offset should also fit fine.

52.3 all around you say then? maybe 55mm on the front?
Are these hard to find at all?
