Default 86 930 vs. 86 951 wheel offsets???

Are the wheel offsets the same? Will 930 wheels fit on a 951?

If we're talking Fuchs only on an '86 with the early offset.

Others have run them on '86 951. Like OhioState944, although I think he ran 8's in the front (I think 930 fronts are 7's?). Also, I'm running Forgelines that were made for a 930, and they work. I believe the fronts are the same offset (+23 mm), but the rears are slightly lower offset (maybe +15 mm on 930 vs. +23 mm on our cars). So, the rears will stick out a little bit more, but work fine (and look cool).

Hopefully, I'm not full of s--t in this post.

I purchased a set of used ROH's that were on an 86 930 that had no clearance issue on my 951.

17x 7.5/8.5 i need to double check the offsets

8" 951 Fuchs on front
9" 930 Fuchs on rear

IMHO, one of the best setups for an early car.

i use to run aftermarket 930 wheels as well on my 86 951. I had to roll the rear fenders to make them clear. No biggie.
