Default Help ID’ing wheels.
Hi,

Anyone have any guesses as to what wheels these are? And maybe what tire setup/sizes? Thanks. The car is a 85.5 so early offset I think?

BBS Early offset cars. If you have a square dash these are fine. 85.5 should have oval dash- improper offset wheel application.

The offset did not change until 87.

That's correct.

85.5 model (1/2) year changed a lot of things - but wheel offfset wasn't one of them.

I had the same rims originally on my 944 when I purchased it. I changed them out for something more timeless.
