Would a set of 17 " boxster wheels that have been on a 1990 S2 until now fit an 87 944 Turbo.
I'm reading and getting the impression that any post 86 ABS 944 can have the same wheels am I right ( please tell me its not even more complicated) :bounce:

Regards Mas

Mas,

Yep, no problem. Any Porsche post '86 wheel will fit your '87....and almost every Porsche wheel will also fit an '86 (albeit spacers). I have not had any problems w/wo ABS.

Mine is an '86 and I am running 18x8/18x10 MY'02 911 wheels on mine.

The car neednt have ABS fitted. All cars manufactured for the 1987 model year onwards use the ABS offset, but not all cars had ABS (it was bloody expensive when it was an option).
