hi i have a 1988 944 with the 53 offset nad whant to fit the cookie cutters of a 1987 i think has a 23 offset...now the back are not a problem..and they fit ok at the front..but because of the off set the wheel is more out ..still in the wheel arch...would it be better to fit the hubs of the 1986/7 if that is possible...
 
The last model year to have a 23mm offset is the 1986. The 1987 cars have a 52.3mm offset. ATS Cookie Cutters were fitted on 944s between 1981 and August 1985. You can mix and match hubs and front struts, but Id advise against it: even if it was for fit beautiful 8" & 9" Fuchs. For Cookies it simply isnt worth it and youll be decimating the value of your car.

The steering wont be fantastic and the bearings will wear more quickly, but a series two car can run on 23mm offset wheels: thats what Id advise.

I have an 83 with cookies and love them, but to fit them on a later car would cause various problems as noted above.

I'd love to fit cookies on my 1987 lux, but I gather it's not possible at all. Is that right? Is there something that looks similar available?
 
It's possible. I ran a wide-tracked (early car with late hubs) series one years ago. Series two cars look wrong on early wheels in my opinion, but theyll fit. The front is sensitive to offset so the steering is affected and the wheel bearings will wear quicker, but theyre the only problems. Im not sure that Id want to run a 52.3mm car on 23mm wheels on the road mind.....
 
I'm confused now!
Fulvia on here and I tried my cookies on his car (oval dash alloy wishbones etc) and they didnt fit - any ideas!

They certainly fill the arches. This is a picture of Phil's car (from TIPEC), which shows the wheels on a series two car.
