Porsche 944 wheel specs by year and trim
| Year | Model / trim | Bolt pattern | Center bore | OE wheel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1989 | Porsche 944 S2 | 5x130 | 71.6 mm | 16x7J |
| 1989 | Porsche 944 Turbo Coupe | 5x130 | 71.6 mm | 16x7.5J |
| 1986 | Porsche 944 Turbo | 5x130 | 71.6 mm | 16x7J |

Factory wheel sizes on the Porsche 944
Across the 4 Porsche 944 trims with a documented factory wheel, the OE diameter is 15-16 inch, width 6-7.5J. A forged wheel that keeps the 5x130 bolt pattern and the 71.6 mm hub bore and matches the factory offset listed on the model page bolts on without spacers or hub rings. Going one inch up in diameter with a lower-profile tyre keeps the rolling circumference inside the usual 1.5% tolerance; every extra 0.5J of width moves the outer lip about 6 mm outward at the same offset, and each 5 mm less offset moves the whole wheel 5 mm outward.

Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Porsche 944 (5x130, 71.6 mm Bore)
In our database, 84 other vehicle entries from 9 makes use exactly the same 5x130 bolt pattern and 71.6 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x130 is used by 5.8% of the vehicle entries in our database (375 of 6,503); 78.7% of those also use a 71.6 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 71.6 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 71.6 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 72.6 mm | 72.6 → 71.6 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 71.6 mm |
| 74.1 mm | 74.1 → 71.6 mm |
| 76.1 mm | 76.1 → 71.6 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 71.6 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Sources and Last Update
Bolt pattern and center bore were checked against at least two independent fitment references before publication.

FAQ
What is the bolt pattern on a Porsche 944?
The Porsche 944 uses a 5x130 bolt pattern with a 71.6mm center bore across every 944 variant in our database (4 guides, 1983–1989).
What is the Porsche 944 center bore?
The hub-centric center bore is 71.6 mm. Aftermarket wheels should match this bore or use hub-centric rings so the hub, not the bolts, carries the load.
Do all Porsche 944 years share the same wheel fitment?
The bolt pattern and center bore are the same across the years we cover, but OE wheel width and offset differ by trim, so check the exact model line before choosing an aftermarket size.
Which forged wheels fit the Porsche 944?
Any wheel drilled 5x130 with a 71.6mm hub bore in the offset range shown on the model guide. ANKUSI forges wheels to order for this exact specification, in 14–24 inch diameters, so no adapters or hub rings are needed.
