Will that 17x9 47mm offset fit on the rear of a late model 944s2 without spacers and no rubbing of a 245 or 255 tire?

And on the front, is that 17x9 47mm even possible for a 944?

Tire size question. On Tire Rack it shows that the fronts @ 7.5" wide should have 205/50/17s. I thought it would be 225/45/17s. Can anyone clear this up for me as I am buying tires this weekend? Please let me know. Thanks

So far 9's fit in front with very minimal rubbing on 255 on interior full lock turn only nothing crazy but def won't be able to lock wheel but im curious if it will be possible with enough camber and toe fidgeting to get it under the fender without it rubbing there. Car hasn't been off the lift yet so I'll keep you posted as things move a long

No spacers needed so far

What about on the 7.5" on the fronts? What is the best size tires for them?

jasonlp

I'm no expert but I would stick with recommended size

gcb951

Seems that it should be wider than 205s as my 16"X7"s are the same size.

Seems to be 225...

That's what I was looking for. Thanks Jason.

I don't know why I'm getting something else though. Check out this link.

86 Turbo early offset is 23 and 15, right?
So at 52 (F) and 47 (R) for the 17's - I would need 29mm and 32mm spacers, right???

Thanks.

Did you search by car or wheel manuf?

Strange how it has 205s on 7.5" for 87 Turbo and 225s on 7.5" on 88 Turbo S. Just an observation.

jasonlp

agreed

225 is safe
