This is exactly what I want on the back of my 914/6 conversion. Any idea what these rear wheel specs might be?

Looks like 7x15 to me.

Def 7" x 15" on rear
Flat 6" x 15" Front.

I have Two like that 7"x 15's that would work done in RS finish. Dates are from late 1973 Anodized spokes and out lip face with frosted down step. They look amazing. PM me if interested I can send photos they are restored fronts only by Fuchs Restoration and never mounted since.

I have two 16x7 Fuchs if your interested...

My eyeball tells me those are fake Fuchs.

I think you are right

Which fakes Fuchs would you guess. I’m making a hot rod anyway, no originality concerns. That is just the perfect look I’m after.

I want a square set-up just like the ones on the back, so 7x15.

I would try to find 4 real Fuchs. They are usually lighter, stronger and only go up in value. The only downside I can see is if you want a particular finish, it usually costs ~$300 + shipping each way to a refinisher.

Some fake Fuchs will not fit big brake calipers under 15’s so do your homework.

Also make sure your tire choice will fit under the the fender with the 7’s. It usually won’t without working the fenders.

just wondering also if that rear has 195 tire?

7’s in the rear.

Beautiful looking teener there. Did you have to massage the fenders to fit those 7 x 15s?

Love to check out your car sometime. I’m in Lighthouse Point, so just down the street.
