Default Porsche Twist Wheels 18" do they fit?

Hello, I have a 1987 Porsche 944 N/A, I was wondering would the Porsche 911 Turbo 2003 Rims fit on my car?? They are 18" and the front is 8 inches wide with a et of 50 and the rear is 11" wide with a et of 45.











Here is the car that they're sopposed to go on! My first sports car!! ;D





thanks again!

You may need to buy some wheel spacers.

If that is a "late offset" 944 (if the current wheels are original, probably would be), strongly doubt 11" with 45 offset would go in the rear. Sure some expert will chime in. The damage is probably repairable, but if the wheels have been in accident are they straight?

Default 944 86, 996 turbo twist rims

I'm working on this project also. I found info on this site,this member got them to work.. Go to :
951 wheel fitment sticky - rennlist discussion forms
http://forms.rennlist.com/rennforums/ 944-turbo-and-s-form//48...

front spacer: I put on 32mm (tire didn't rub for me)
Back is the area I'm working on. I went down to a 275 35 r18 tire. its about 1inch less in width and height than the 295 series. I tired that. (Tight fit) The member listed above got the 295 series to work. My next move is to see if a
22mm or a 24mm spacer H&R will get me up and running. Also you may have to roll the inside rear fenders. I'm hoping with the smaller 11 rear tire size I will not have to. We'll see..... Standing still they look great on my car. I know I may lose some HP power but its the look I'm going for.
