V.quick question... what's the correct tyre size for the 944 turbo 1986? I've seen a lot of different recomendations around but is there a simple correct answer?

Thanks,
Alex

M758

Factory size
205/55 R16 Front on 16x7
225/50 R16 Rear on 16x8

The most common alternate size is
225/50 R16 Front on 16x7
245/45 R16 Rear on 16x8.

This is the standard size for the 88 Turbo S and 89 Turbo although those cars used 9" wide rear wheels.

17 wheels were never standard on the 944 Turbo, but were optional on 968.

245/45 R16 is what Joe meant

Great, thanks!

Is that the same for the 86 turbo though?

Also - for anyone in the UK: Any recommended tyres (looking for good value for money here, not state of the art)

Thanks,
Alex

With 7's and 8's I prefer 205's and 225's, respectively. Too much sidewall buldge if you cram the larger sizes on there.

but thats a decent amount of extra rubber on the road, so it depends on what you are wanting to do with the car in my opnion

And extra sidewall flex.

with a 7/8 setup i would put 225s all around and look for two 8s.
