Not sure what you mean by 'the centres come way out'? because if you look at the image they look 'way in' to me?
EDIT: Ok I went back and had another look and it's true, the spokes are convex to a degree, but I still can't see them fitting a later model 944 which he clearly states. I would have thought an earlier 944 with the narrower track maybe?
As for 19's, well I know there is a bit of hesitation around here about them, but I think done properly they could look good and contemporary. There was a 'lister who had some 19's on a red car (I think) which was posted some months ago. I really didn't mind them. They tyres can look very low profile though. Each to his own.

It would depend on the setbacks and diameter and width of the tire mounted.

Ed, do you mean offsets? If so, they are listed, but visually it just doesn't look like they would sit within the guard to me?
