Can anyone confirm what sizes these were available in and whether they fit early off set 944's ? Is that ET24?

Off the top of my head they won't fit (50-55mm offset, not the 24 & 17 you need for pre-85.2 944 -- they will be too far in and you'll need spacers), but I'm not going out into the rain to look at the set I have. Later maybe...
 
If yours is a late off set car and the wheels fit like a glove, then they won't fit mine! Thanks for your input.
 
Mine is an early offset 944 but I haven't tried the wheels off the 928 on it. Hold on a minute...
Aargh. Still p*ssing rain. OK, it says ET65 7x16 on two of them (they are all the same, I think).

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp will let you work out the ramifications of changing to these from your (I assume) 23.3mm offset 7Jx15 cookie cutters on the pre 85.2 car you have. 40mm spacers I would have thought...

The 87/88 Turbo had 928 style wheels as an option (they feature in the "...eats Ferraris" add). I have a set in the shed with my track tyres on. The fronts and rears are a different offset and a different rim width.
 
Thanks for the input chaps! To be honest the cheap set were/are a total unkown quantity found in deep dark dank depths of e-bay. I think I will give them a miss.
 
The 928 type dish wheels are very light (which is good) but don't seem to have a great deal of structure to them (which is bad).

They also don't seem to provide much brake ventilation (which is very bad).

If anyone is desperate for a set I am more than happy to do a swap - my 928 dishes for pretty much any other set of 16" wheels which will fit my late hubs. They really are that good [&:]
 
"I think you might need 16's to fit over John's reasonably big blacks."

Indeed.. I have got 16" tele's on my M030 calipered car and there is not a lot of space between the wheel and caliper. You also need to make sure that you get the right 16" tele's as the ones I got had funny lugs on the front wheels (pre ABS??) which meant that they wouldnt spin on the hub, they hit the calipers.[:mad:]
So I ended up getting soem more rears and now run 8J16's all round. [:D]
