Considering changing my teledials to D90's. The teles are 7J front and rear but the D90's are 7 front and 8 rear. Will they be a straight swap or am I going to need spacers? (I remember my owners handbook lists both 15 and 16in rims for the 944S but havent got it to hand to check the widths) |

Yup will be a straight swap onto a 87 car. Make sure the hub faces & nut threads have a smear of copa-slip on. Standard tyres are 205/55x 16 front & 225/50x 16 rear. Start with tyre pressures at around 32psi all round & see how it feels. |

i think 16s were an option on '86 on cars, my handbook shows this, 7 and 8s are the correct size for the S2 so should be fine, mine had 6 and 8 D90s when i got it and they were fine (apart from the nankangs !!), now got 6 and 8 16 inch cup 1s from a 968 and they're fine too |

The 6" rims will have come off a 911. The 944/968 has only had 7" and wider rims fitted, even the original cars that came on 185 section tyres had 7" ATS 'cookie cutters'. |
