Would these wheels fit my 944?

ET23.3 is a shallow offset and will only fit an 'early' (pre-ABS) car. What year is yours? If it's 85.5 or later I think you'll need 53.3 offset so the wheel sits sensibly in the wheelarch (and the bearing load is maintained the same.

You can check yours easy enough - see --> HERE <-- about the 10th post down.

Having said that you could put them on a later car I guess, but they'd be too far inboard. Where abouts are you? I have one of those, exact same size, in my garage if you'd like to try it for size.

Tony is right, there was a period of circa 18 months where cars had oval dash, alloy arms and early offset, then the MY87 cars had the later offset.
 
If my car has 23.3 15" teledial wheels on it, can I put larger wheels with a later 53.3 offset on it? Will they physically fit and would this be detrimental in any way? Its an sept 88 944 NA btw.
Cheers.
 
If you have early offset hubs and put late offset wheels they might fit ( I have seen cars with them) but without spacers they will look very very silly (unless you are a fan of wheels buried deep in the arches) you need quite large and expensive (30mm?) spacers to get them right. However a sept 88 car should have the later offsets. You can establish the year of build from the first few digits of the chassis number.
