Check the "what do you think" thread under "911"
The 951 8's will fit in the front of a 911, with some massaging of the fender lip, as well as fitting in the back, perhaps needing a spacer to clear the inner fender wall.
The 911 "8"s have a 10.6 mm offset.. the 944 "8" has a 23.3 mm offset. The later 944 "8" have (approx) 52 mm offset and will not work on the pre '89 911's

The 951 8" have an approx. 5 1/2" backspacing vs. a 4 7/8" of a 911 8". They will work on the back without spacers. Or you can add a 1/2" spacer to get the same look as a 911 8". If you just want them for the back I would look for a 911 8". They seem to be about the same price. I think there are some on ebay now. Either one will work on the back of a flared car, RS, SC or Carrera.
