I am looking to fit a set of these to my 1988 944 as it currently has the skinnier 15" wheel fitted, do I need to factor in spacers as well or are they just a straight wheel swap? Any advice appreciated. Cheers Keith

I have 8J 16" on the rears with 225/50/16 tyres and they bolt straight on, can't speak for the fronts as I have 7J 16".

I have turbo D90s on my 1989 2.7.
7.5 x 16 on the front and 9 x 16 on the rear. Fit straight on.

All depends on the ET of the wheels, not just width x diameter. Also factor in the tyre
