I have a 1982 porsche 944 and I currently have the standard 15" cookies fitted.
I know the cup one wheels fit which I do like but wonder what others would also fit my car?
Wheels that I especially like are:
993 16" wheels
porsche cup 2 wheels
porsche 17" boxster s twist wheels
porsche cup 3 twists

Cup1 wheels don't fit. Cup1 copies with the right sort of offset fit, but they weigh a tonne. None of the other wheels listed fit, either.

Your nominal offset is 23mm(7") and this needs to reduce as the wheels get wider. Fuchs wheels will fit (typically ET23 - ET11) and other third party wheels for cars of this age.

I had cup 1 replicas on my previous 944. Cup 2 has the same ET as mine so will they fit?

If I end up needing the spacers will I need to have longer wheel studs or would my old ones still be okay?

Maybe I am missing out a fact that Simon has covered but the above wheels will fit your car, including kosher Cup 1s. However, they will require hubcentric spacers to work at the amount they will need spacing out, something like this.

However, in your shoes I'd either keep the Cookie cutters or get a set of Fuchs.
