uberklasse Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I am hoping for a little cash plus a set of phone dials for '84 944. I figured that most of us here don't want fuchs, but if you do for your street car OR know of anyone please let me know. I am going to post on Pelican Parts and Rennlist also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
944-Spec#94 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 you may also want cookie cutters for your 84. I know there are plent on Rennlist that would dump cookies for fuchs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Comeau Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Yeah, the Fuchs are worth much more. What size are they? 7's and 8's x 15 or 16? Maybe I can help you push them. I still have a set of the lighter cookie cutters for sale. Jason, keep in mind the stock track width rule, ok? I mean, make sure you're getting early offset phonies, not 87-88 ABS offset phonies. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberklasse Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Gotcha Tim All I have right now are cookies and I thought phonies would be just be a nice change. I thought they phonies for early cars? I know it was probably discussed here before, but I was under the assumption that the 924s was the only car with a narrower track width. Were the early 944's wider than the 85 1/2-88's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Comeau Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 All the 944's including the 944 turbos, came from the factory with the same track width. The 924S came with a much narrower track, the ABS offest, but only 6" wheels. You can run phonies or cookies on the early cars. The cookies are 2-3 pounds lighter per wheel (unsprung weight). JOE POSTED EARLIER: There are 3 legal wheels for 944-spec. oOher wheels may have come from the factory or are on any car you buy. These 3 Wheels are "Cookie Cutter" wheels make by ATS (Standard wheel 83-85) 23.3 mm Early Offset "Phone Dials" (Standard Wheel 85.5 and 86) 52.3 mm Late Offset "Phone Dials" (Standard Wheel 87-88 944) Now assuming you have not been updating/backdating parts your choice of wheels is as follows 83-86 944 = Cookie Cutters or early offset phone dials (Note late offsetphone dials can be used if the proper aftermarket spacer is used. This not recomended as spacers increase loading on wheel studs and longer studs are often required) 87-88 944 and 87-88 924S = Late offset Phone Dials To Clear things up remember cookie cutters work on 83-86 cars. Phone dials have two stock offsets (early and late) and they all are stamped with proper offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Comeau Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 You still haven't said what Fuching size the Fuchs are............... Also, the cookie cutters are around 13 lbs per wheel whereas the phonies are about 17 lbs per wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberklasse Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 I believe the are 15x6 and 15x7, but I have to double check before I put any ads out there. They are on an '84 944 currently Jeff, how much did you sell your for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
944-Spec#94 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 jason, I would expect them to be 15x7 front and possiblely 15x8 rear although the rear could be 15x7 just like the fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
