There is no technical objection to widening the rear axle track on Porsche 944 cars using spacer plates, except for vehicles equipped with 8-inch wide wheel rims.
CAUTION
Conversions should only be made on cars in good mechanical condition. The procedures must be carried out correctly using only original Porsche replacement parts.
28 mm spacers with centering collars, Part No. 930 331 611 04, are 7 mm thicker than standard spacers and must be used in conjunction with 72 mm long wheel studs, Part No. 901 331 671 01.
Note All Porsche parts can be identified by the Porsche part number as well as the registered official Porsche emblem.
Wheel nut tightening torque values are as specified in the Owner's Manual.
CAUTION
28 mm spacers may not be used with 8-inch wide wheel rims or with tire chains. To allow sufficient clearance when using tire chains, standard 21 mm spacers must be fitted and original track width restored.
