They are 951S Clubs Sport wheels 16 x 7 & 9, they are nearby and reasonably priced. Anyone know if they will fit without any major mods?

I think they will according to the below calculator. Maybe a little fender rolling?

Rear wheel difference.



Front wheel difference.

Fronts will not fit without spacers. Rears may fit depending on tire size. I have 225/50/16 on the back of mine, with fender lips flattened down, and I can BARELY get one finger between the tire and fender.

So the fronts would need about a 1 inch spacer, and the rears may fit. Do your rears fit with typical alignment or with lots O camber?

RM,
Thanks for the information, I think I'm going to pass on these wheels. I guess I really just want a straight bolt on set of d90's or (gasp) trashcans.

Late offset wheels fit just fine on narrow-boady 924. I have late offset BBS RS (16x8 and 16x9) and Cup 1 (17x7 and 17x9) fit just fine on regular 5lug early 944 brakes.
