Default more Euromeister 17" Fuchs ????

Back space questions for 1986 turbo. Automotion has 17" fuchs 7",8" and 9".
7" has 23.3ET, would that fit the front as is? 9" has et15 if I add a 9mm spacer should they fit the rear? Should I do 8" in front and add a spacer. Does anyone have these on their car? I called Automotion tech support and put on hold foever.

Yes, same as the stock early offset 951 wheels, but if these were designed for a 911 odds are you need a small (5 to 7mm) spacer to clear the 951 brakes

It would fit without the spacer, adding a 9mm spacer would likely not work and cause a lot of rubbing. 9" w/ et15 fills out the wells nicely on the rear of a '44

Might fit, might rub with a spacer. But the same issue with clearing the brakes would apply.

Has anyone ever tried the Linea Corse Fox 17x7.5 & 17x9 on an early offset 951 or 944? I have the stock 16" now and like the look, but would like larger wheels. Also, it appears Otto-Fuch is offering larger style forged Fuchs for late offset.
