I have put 996 hollow spoke wheels on the 86 turbo (15mm rear spacers). The rears are a tight fit. However, I am hitting the fenders going over expansion joints.

The fenders were rolled but not completely flat so there is still a little lip exposed.

Upon further examination, it looks like the drivers wheel sticks a few millimeters (1/8 to 1/4 inch) more that the right side.

Is that normal? Is there a way to center the rear axle better?

How about use a smaller spacer on the drivers side?

the rear suspension has some "wiggle room" at the two large mounts (located just behind the doors).
you might try loosening those bolts just a little and giving the whole rear suspension assembly a strong tug the other way, tighten up and see what happens...

Spencer has the right idea but its worth mentioning that every 944 I've ever measured has been "off center".

It may be worth getting the Geometry checked you could have side to side different camber settings, or you could alter them also to assist? as well as a reduced spacer thickness.......

+1 It's normal, but sometimes you can shift the rear suspension over a little bit, and if you're lucky, you might get it to the center. It'll change your thrust angle though, so you'll need an alignment.
