![Question](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I am wondering which porsche models share the same offset with the early 944's? Specificly, an 83' 928.
Thanks,
Rutger
PS: what are the various offsets for the 928's?

Early offset 944 wheels WILL NOT fit a 928. Correct offsets ar 65mm. You can fudge that a bit, especially in the rear. For a list of wheel specs, go here: <a href="http://www.928gt.com/928specs/928specs.htm#Wheel" target="_blank">928 Specialists</a>

So, if I install wheels with a 75 mm offset, do I add 10 mm spacers to get to 65 mm?
Or is it the other way around - for example, installing wheels with a 50mm offset I'd add 15 mm spacers to get to 65?
I'll get this offset thing straight one of these days...

An ’83 has 65mm offsets both front and rear.

The offset is the distance from the center of the rim width to the wheel's mounting pad.
