NO, well maybe, if your 944 came with 15" wheels as standard you
will need tires no taller then 30% and at least 245 to fit the rims..
also they will be too wide for the front without steering stops or
spacers to keep from rubbing,

17" would be better

Doug--

I have 17x7.5's and 245x40's and they still rub---not often just as you turn
in and the front starts to load---

YUP, sure do... fronts are 7" rims the backs have all kinds of spce
so 8+ can go there but the fronts will need steering stops to prevent
rubbing in turns
