 Fuchs backspacing, Will the 15 x 7 & 8” off a 944 have the correct backspacing for a GT clone ? |

I was worried about the backspacing, are the 944 ones much different than the 911 15 x7 & 8 ?

Now I don't know if they were factory original. Maybe someone that knows more will chime it. But all 15x7's and 15x8's I've ever seen were the same offset. |

But all 15x7's and 15x8's I've ever seen were the same offset. 8" - 951 Fuchs (from a 944) have a different offset. They look like 7's from the front and sit closer to suspension than a 911- 8" fuchs. That's why the narrow body 911 guys like them on the front. You would pay a premium and not really need them. They go for around $1200-1500/pair. |
