Find someone with a set of calipers. Then we can talk numbers.

he means calipers for measuring stuff. and yeah, i was talking my friend about that tonight. if i can pick up a cheap set i'm going to measure it up tomorrow and see what i come up with. if these don't go straight on somehow i'll be wheel shopping.

Oh, sorry. my bad . I thought you had NA calipers.

[flat]

Yeah, I mean measuring calipers.

do we know that the hub on all 944 NAs are 71.5 or 71.6, whatever the number is?

Yes. 71.5mm to be exact. All 944 hubs are the same wheel bore. I have 993 cups 2's on my 944NAs on my bus and everything is lovely. If they changed the wheel bore, they did it after the 993's. Also, are we sure it's a diameter problem and not a depth problem?

Well, since Lanner gave you the measurement... I don't have to jack up my car and remove a wheel to measure.(thanks Lanner )

one could maybe call it a depth problem. here's a picture of where it rubs:



so the bore is fine until it hits at that point, i guess.
