    944 Fuchs on 911's

    Will Fuchs from a 944 fit on 911's? I know cookie cutters will, but not sure of Fuchs.

    These are 15x8 and 15x7. 5x130 lug pattern. Don't know offsets, but I think they are F 23.3mm, R 10.6mm. I guess my question is what 911's with they fit. I assume that they will not fit pre-69?

    The 15" Fuchs fitted to 944's had the same offsets as those fitted to 911's:

    7x15 - ET (offset) = 23.3mm
    8x15 - ET = 10.6mm

    With the 16" Fuchs things were a bit different:

    7x16 - ET = 23.3mm (911 & 944)
    8x16 - ET = 23.3mm (944) 10.6mm (911)

    There was also a difference in the 944 lugnut recesses on the 8x16" Fuchs

    8x15's will not fit a std (narrow-bodied) lwb - certainly not without a lot of modifications.

    The 7/8 x 15 combination is typically found on an RS- or SC-flared car
