I think most are 16x8 so may get issuses with width, the offset is good tho ET43, you can get away with 7" on the rear with spacers, but 8" I'm not sure. Tho as with most Porker rimz there could well be lots of sizes available
 
The D90's came in 6 x 16 as well

This wheel is in the US,but just for reference....

Cheers chaps. I was looking at 16".

I'm already 944 brake set up, so they should just bolt on, right????????
 
Alex from Heritage has posted about these being in stock in the for sale section 8)
 
sorry cant figure out how to copy on this tablet but look in the non early bay parts for sale near the top of page 1
 
Marcher how you gonna fit the rears? You will need to space the wheels out by around 30mm to get the centres on, so adaptors will be favourite
 
I have some spacers on the rear already. I can get the centres on my 14" fuchs ok.

But i'm thinking about getting some of the transporthaus shorter stub axles???
 
Ok, had plenty of these, some of my favourite wheels :D

They're all 16" and came in 6, 7, 8 and 9s. The offsets are et52 to et55 depending on width.

The 6s and 8s are the most common and easy to come by. 9s are rare and pricey. 7s are less common but aren't usually any more money than the 6s or 7s.

If you're prepared to hunt around, then sets are usually 200-300quid depending on condition and if they've got centre caps. A mate just paid squarely in the middle of that for a set of 6s & 8s. Don't buy them off a golf boy as they usually want silly money for them just because they're porsche rims :lol:

Educated guess but you'll probably need at least a 15mm spacer to clear the trailing arms etc at the front and probably more like 25mm (happily a common adaptor width 8) ) for the back.
 
Just searching for more info on these and came across this thread...

have seen a set for sale and are 6J 16 on front and 8J 16 on rear - is the advice above based on wider rears or 16 x 6 all round please?

I'm '71 so narrow pattern but believe adapters are available for this and wide 5's?

they do look v.nice!

Ignore me - further searching has indicated that I'd need 6J all round :|
 
I think Andy Wilson had some second hand ones for sale, he had 2 threads running one in the Early Bay for Sale and one in the Non Early bay section, I think entitled Porsche Wheels for sale. If he hasnt got any he will probably know where to find some as Andy loves his wheels :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ours are brand new OEM wheels that have never been fitted to anything and come in very dusty boxes :mrgreen:
