Doug,

He lives near me. It seems he bought them for a 911 "rsr style" car and they didn't fit. I'm not sure about a 944 widebody. I think there is to much backspace but don't quote me on that.

How much does he want? Those fenders can accomodate 13" wheels with 335's...I wouldn't short change myself with 12"s.

Even with the late offset you can still stuff 13s.

Thanks Mike. I'm looking at some widebody options but it's for a road and track car so I don't want those ones that make it look too kit car like with all the wavy ill fitting fibreglass panels. The one in your photo looks pretty good from what I see?

those wheels fit the wheel well nicely...thats exactly what i am looking for...17x12's would be able to handle a 335 tire...i have a mustang with 335's on a 18X10" wheel...i just want to make sure these wheels would fit without any issues...i dont want tot waste the money and trying to resell if they dont
