I don't think they'll fit early P-cars without ABS offset. Maybe the seller should check the specs on those before claiming "FIT ANY PORSCHE". I'd like to see Tom Tweed stuff these under his 911S fenders :shock: :roll: (or is that a 911T, Tom?)

I believe those wheels would need 1" spacers at least to fit an early car (they are probably 52-55mm offset?), which means you have to lengthen the studs in your hubs AND buy the spacers. You'd end up spending more to fit them than if you just bought the correct offset wheels for an early car.

(ps- it's an "S", Dan, they didn't make a "T" in 1967)

87 944's do have the late offset if anyone cares and they would fit his car, but he doesn't want them so I assume he was just posting FYI.

Yes. Correct, jad. What I really should have said is :roll: :

:shock: "Heads-up older P-car owners. These wheels will most likely have an offset for ABS systems that requires spacers to fit non-abs cars." :shock:

I didn't mean to be vague. Sorry :wink: . Just didn't want someone to get them, only to realize they wouldn't fit properly.
