Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Steve,
I submitted membership application on-line last night but they reckon on 2 weeks to process (If you include xmas this could be longer
). Any chance someone can have a fish around for me.
Thanks

Pretty sure you will need spacers on an '85, early 944s have a narrow track- but off the top of my head I can't remember if it was pre S2 era when they changed.
Stutgart connection in Essex stock 'em. On standard suspension the 944 rides like sh*t on 17's tho, mine rides much more sweetly on S2 16's than on the old 17inch cup rims.
Thanks for that Steve,
Any chance you can post info here, as I cant get to my mail DOH! work have changed filters to block webmail..........
Also does anyone have the number for Stutgart Connection.

Well 16" Fuche Alloys supplied by Porsch-Apart
www.porsch-apart.co.uk/.
No Spacers required and Look the business thanks Simon - just a shame the Boxter 17's were a no go.

You will feel a great loss in acceleration if you put 17" and these rims would definitely not look appropriate on a 944.
IMO the best wheels to put are original black 16" Fuchs. Don't try to get any further.
Is your car a mk1 (924 dashboard) or a mk2 (oval dashboard)?
If it's a mk1 the Fuchs rims shouldn't need any spacers.

Got to disagree Thom, even tho I'm not a fan of big rims on older porkers I think the 944 on some genuine Porker 17's looks great- well they did on my silver 944 with cup 2 rims, and if you get the rolling radius the same the acceleraton & speedo reading will be the same, the ride (on stock suspension)is admiditly s
t but much worse on 18's!!(which is why I'm running S2 16's) 17's will be usually have wider rims & tyres tho so the top speed will be down coz of the drag tho.
Its all opinon ref looks I guess, but black Fuchs on the 944 aghhh,
polish em up tho and they do look good.

The Mods have started - Induction Kit and Strut Braces ordered - Looking at new suspension packages (like the sound of the AVO one) - Have also managed to Purchase a set of 17" Boxter Alloys.
Does anyone know if wheel spacers will be required if so which and where from?
