Looks good but keep your eye on the rust. The longer you leave it the more it costs to fix! |

When I said that 23mm offset wheels fitted 52.3mm cars people said that I was mental. They wont be doing the front mountings any good though, nor the steering. |

not sure you put this in the right section...but 52.3 off set is for a 1988 944.... |

Im not sure that I understand what youre saying? You appear to have an 'F'-registered 944. All 944s manufactured after September 1986 use a nominal 52.3mm offset wheel. The wheels fitted to your car, which was intended to use 52.3mm offset wheels have an offset of 23mm. My point was that I have said on a number of occasions that ET23mm wheels will fit a late offset car, as demonstrated in your photographs. I also pointed out that whilst they wont do a deal of harm on the back; that the fronts will cause excess bearing and mounting wear and that it will steer terribly. |
