Looking at doing the brakes on the restoration project 1985 2.5. As another option to fitting spacers just wanted to see the cost of changing to the later hubs with the bigger offset.
Question is does anyone have a parts list for the bits required to change from 23mm offset setup to the later 53mm setup?
Suspension arms?
Trailing arms?
Thanks in advance
 
It's a relatively involved job, definately possible but a hassle and not something I'd think was particulalry advisable (I'm sure someone will be along with the parts list soon).

If I had an early 944 I'd fit it with some cookie cutters with body coloured or black centres and polished rims. These wheels are almost valueless yet look right on the car, but that's just me [:D]
 
The rear suspension isnt worth a deal, but changing it all over will be a massive PITA. The front hubs arent worth much either, but youll be looking at the best part of £200 just for a pair of reasonable wishbones. When youre done youll have a car which is exactly the same dynamically but which has cost £300-£400 and a lot of swearing; thats dead money too..

Conversely if you elect to use proper hubcentric spacers, itll cost you half as much: and youll always be able to get yout money back, if you buy them well.
