Hi,
I really dont like the current fitment of the wheels of my 944 83 (early offset). I want them to be further out and more flush with the fenders to get a more wider look. After doing some research on here, my only valid option is converting everything to late offset or get big spacers (not sure what the german TÜV would think about 40mm spacers in the back haha). . I was wondering if someone has achieved nicer / more flush fitment on an early 944 without doing the whole conversion step and might be able to share how he/she did it. Maybe some pictures would be nice too.👍🏻

 

What wheels are you using now? The 8" wide Fuchs with the 10.6 offset look perfect to me.

 

Im currently running the cookie cutters. Not sure what offset they have. I think it was 23, but im not sure. Do you have some pictures? Would love to see them 👍🏻

 

25mm spacers put my cookie cutters and 225 wide tires exactly flush.

 

My 944 already has spacers on the back from factory ( I think thes are also around 20mm but wheels are definitly not flush and I also have 225 on the back tire. What year is your 944?

Best regards

 

Yup, 25mm in addition to the factory 21mm spacer. No issues on my 1983 car. Currently have 8 inch wide wheels with 15ET and 225's and I get very occasional tire rub on huge bumps, but just on the passenger side. I haven't gone to smaller spacers yet because my wheel setup will change fairly soon.

 

Thats the answer I was looking for, thanks a lot 👍🏻 Do you have a picture of the full side? Would be cool to see.

 

Had to dig in the archives to find some old pics. No current or full profile pics handy right now.
Before:

After 25mm spacer:

Looks better now, the car has been lowered 1.5" all around since these pictures were taken.

 

Looks so much better imo, even without lowering. Im also planning on lowering, first thing I will do now tho is ordering some good spacers 👍🏻
Thank you for your help 🙏
