Post What are the different Fuchs offsets?

I am looking for the different Fuchs offset for 944s and 911s?

944 Fuchs(are these correct?)
.............83-86......87-88
15x7......23mm.......52.3mm
16x7......23mm.......52.3mm
16x8......23mm.......52.3mm

911 Fuchs(have no idea)

15x7
16x7
16x8

Could someone fix my mistakes and fill in the 911 Fuchs offsets? I am just concerned with Fuchs wheels in these sizes.

What year did they start and stop making Fuchs for 944s and 911s?

Thanks, also if you know of a link to a chart that has this info that would be great also.

Fuchs can only be used in '83-86 cars because they no Fuchs were ever made with the required 52.3mm offset for the '87+ cars.



Here's some part#:



6JX15

----------

911-361-020-10 36.0mm

911-361-020-90 36.0mm



7JX15

----------

911-361-020-41 23.3mm

911-361-020-93 23.3mm



8JX15

----------

911-361-020-42 10.6mm

911-361-020-94 10.6mm



6JX16

----------

911-361-020-43 36.0mm

911-361-020-97 36.0mm

or

911-362-113-00 36.0mm

911-362-113-90 36.0mm



8JX16

----------

951-362-117-00 23.3mm

951-362-117-90 23.3mm



(I seemed to have lost the part# for the 16x7" Fuchs front wheel for 944Turbos. If someone can give me that part#, I'd appreciate it greatly.)



All '83-86 944 NA cars can use the 911 Fuchs. But only the part# starting with 951 can be used on the '86 944Turbo. That's because the arms/spokes have extra clearance for the 944Turbo's big brake calipers.

Thanks Danno, that's just the info. I was looking for.

I found a pair of 16x7s on line that came off of a 911 that I may buy, are these the same as the 16x7 Fuchs front wheel for the 944Turbos?

Thanks, I will see if I can get that PN for you.

I believe the answer is no, 911 16x7's and 944 16x7's are shaped differently, to account for larger 944 calipers, even though they have the same offset and backspacing.

That's cool as long as they have the same 23.3mm offset I should be fine, with my small NA calipers.

My set of Fuchs on my 85 NA are:

FRONT - 911-362-115 7Jx16
REAR - 951-362-117 8Jx16

They work great.

I would like to transfer them over to my new 86T but as stated above, the 911-362-115 spokes hit my calipers. Does anyone make a spacer for this application?.
