Hi,
You will need 17" Cups with the maximum 52ET offset for the front shod with 205/40/17 tyres. It works best with a 2" narrowed beam but is possible with a standard width one by tucking up the lips on the front wings. The rear is another problem altogether. Even with standard early rear swinging arms from a 944 and 52ET's you'll need at least 1 inch over sized rear wings. I am in the process of trying to narrow my rear swinging arms an inch to squeeze everything underneath. The problem is that the 944 hubs add 26mm to the standard bug rear track either side. If you are using the aluminium swinging arms too then your track will be 56mm too wide either side! The 52 ET 7.5j 17's fit perfectly under stock arches with stock redrilled drums and suspension but as soon as you bolt up the 944 brakes you head into trouble. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
Good Luck!
Andy.
