Default Porsche Cup wheels for S4 - will they fit?

Hi All,

I have a chance to buy some (Italian, I think) Cup 1 wheels.
Fronts are 7 1/2 j x 17 h2 and ET 23.
Rears are 9 j x 17 h2 and ET 15.
Could they be a straight replacement without adjustment for the original 16" 7 slots on my 88 S4?

Cheers,
Willber

the rim sizes are good the offsets are not.
you need a max of 50mm up front , 65mm is stock the higher the number within that range the better so maybe the offsets are not the correct numbers that you have been given

Those are early offset (944, 911, etc.) sizes. They will not work.

Adrian, thanks for moving this.

And thanks to you all who commented - it seemed a good deal but you've saved me some cash.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
Willber

*****, if you look at the wheels in my avatar these will fit your car without any problem.
They are from a 2005 Carrera 4S 997. I got these on Ebay as take offs and paid about 1500 with shipping. The wheels also had brand new from the factory, tires on them
