Yes they are but depending on which model, and year they are from they will have a different offset from the 911 SC.

After 87 944s had either ABS or ABS offset hubs, that used further offest wheels than before, I think ET55 front, ET52 rear for S2 design 90 wheels. If you put these wheels on any pre-89 911 they will sit too far in from the arches, and possibly foul the calipers too. You will need to use some pretty big spacers to mount late 944 wheels to a 911. Even the 944 turbo fuchs wheels have a different offset to 911 fuch wheels, so be careful and check what you are buying will fit first

Best thing to do is try them on the 911 first and see what happens.

(I borrowed a set of wheels from a friend who was having his 924 re-sprayed and fitted them on an old Talbot Sunbeam - they seemed to work OK and looked rather smart too!)

DON'T DO IT !!

You need to check things out fully first. If they don't fit correctly you could have problems.
Check a) ET (offset) b) PCD (circumference of holes) c) stud pattern and d) size of centre hole

I've been after some wheels for my van for a while and getting all bits together is not always straight forward. Spacers are expensive, say £100 per pair.

Speak to a wheel specialist and get the correct advice.

Hope this helps.
