What 944 trailing arms are you using? I've got '86 Turbo parts, and I was told that the 16x7 Boxster wheels are about the biggest I could go and not have to flare my Ghias wings. Seeing as how the 944 parts bolt to a type 1 torsion tube and uses 944 axles though, I can't expect either torsion tube to make a significant difference on the track of the car. I suppose the exception would be if the 944 transaxle is A LOT wider than a type 1 transaxle.

Yeah thats what the measurements above are from, its a lot wider. I will just cut the trailing arm mount on the vw torsion housing and move it up. That way when I lower my Ghia the wheels wont tuck in at the top, is caster or camber the word I am looking for?

Anyhow I have non turbo aluminum arms from 85.5
