I have a 1989 944 i want to replace my alloys for teledial alloys but the wheels and tyres on mine are bigger than the teledial alloys,would this cause a problem? Mine are 225/50r17 and the teledials are 195/65r15.would it handle different?

Ate the teledials correct offset and width ? If so keep the tyre size the same as what is coming off.

Searching isn't great on this forum but a google and this came up near the top - https://www.porscheclubgb.com/forum/threads/944-lux-tyre-size.122868/

15" wheels will fit a 944 but not the S2 or Turbo.

You will struggle to find new tyres in 195/65R15 or 215/60R15 I believe, this was discussed some time ago and the consensus was that you can fit 205/65R15.

Have you got your owners manual? the tyre sizes are listed.
