Will 944 wheels (15" 7J phone dail wheels) fit my 924 turbo (79' 5-stud) without the use of spacers ?

| There are two types of 944 'phonedial' wheels. If you select the up to 85.5 year models then they are a straight bolt on fit - the early 944s after all had identical suspension to 924Ts. Another straight bolt on fit are 'cookie cutters from the same years. |

No, wheels from an early 944 will not fit on a 924 turbo. Wheels for a 924 turbo have an offset of 52 mm and wheels for 944 before -87 has an offset of 23 mm (944 has a wider track!).
Wheels from -87 and later, with a higher offset, will fit perfectly.

just pay attention to the offset as maxx stated, you'll be fine, and yes they do come in 15 (on my 924S)

Sorry guys - you are so right. Too late at night when I wrote that. Just got so excited - kinda like premature vocalisation. Only had to walk into my workshop to confirm. Forgot that operative word 'spacers'. Mea Culpa.
Cheers Pete |

after some research:
924 turbo 15x6J offset 53 (spiderweb wheels)
924 S phone dail 15x6J or 15x7J offset 52,3
944 I phone dail 15x7J offset 23,3
944 II phone dail 15x7J offset 52,3
So I need 944 II or 924 S, of course I will look for the wide 7J ones.
Does 944 II have a different offset front/ rear ?

I think some had an offset of 10 in the rear (turbo? S?).

All the late model 87+ 944s had 52.3mm offset front and rear.

Early offset 944 wheels fit just fine on 924 Turbo, of course it depends on the width of the rim/tire.

Well I want 7J wheels, the 6J spiderweb wheels are to small for my slicks.
I think the telephone dail 944 S2 wheels will be the best option for track use, don't you think ?
I want to stick to 15" because I have all my slicks/ rain tires in that size.

On the track you want as much track as you can. In case of 7", early offset wheels should fit fine.

That is correct! I run 15x7" Cookie Cutters ET23 with 205/50-15 R-tires for track use. It fills out the body nicely but you might need some tracksettings (which I have on my car) for the camber for them to stay within the wheelarches.
