Well if it fits may be bitchin
Who has rear shot and wheel well shots of 15"X7" 5 lug fuchs on narrow body?
I didn't think they would fit 
If you put 205 50 x 15 on 6" in front and 7" in back how will diameters effect things?
help please my education continues
Along with my endless enjoyment of my car

7" fuch fit fine but can be a little close in back. Depends on what tire you use. With 205/60 or a lower profile 205/50 you shouldn't have a problem. I have 16x7 fuchs on all 4 corners with 215/45's. My passenger side rear needed just a minor pull to fit

so for all you tire wizards
if I put 15X6 on front and 15X7 on rear
Do I run same tire on all 4 corners? or do I run 215 45 in rear and 205 50 in front etc?
how do I get same diameter on wider rim?
Good to know they will fit, I love a staggered look
Thanks
Will

No... Medford is full. If you CA plates and you stay too long, they come after your car with chain saws!

Have 15/7 cookies on all 4 on the six conversion. Driver's side rear is very close with 185/65/15, but then I'm not a real racer anymore.
Oh, no pics ... I'm to lazy.
forget Boregon and the PNW ... you have to quack to live there and I am fully capable of pumping my own gas.

Bit of an older pic but these are 16x7's with Hoosier 205/45R16's. Max negative camber and fender lips pulled n' rolled. Previously I used 15x7 cookies with 205/50's and they fit fine.

7X16 late dials with 205/50 and 1 1/4 spacers all the way around.

Rumor is the women up there use them when they finally decide to shave their legs.

Slightly off topic but if someone has a clean pair of 16x8 Fuchs with the black center and polished lip I've been looking for a set!

My 74 before I got it from –duc. It had 7’ with 215/45/16 back and front and the fenders are pulled just a little. ¼? but the edge of the well is rolled in the back.

So, think I am buying 16X6 Fuchs
On my Olympic Blue like this, now do I run 215/45 or 205/50's ?
Thoughts?

While not Fuchs, I have 15 x 7 on my car too. I like them.

What size tires are those John?
Posted by: qa1142 Aug 11 2010, 04:14 PM
ok so I bought these 15X6 and 15X7 cookie cutters

Going cheap route to get it done on my 5 lug, these will take my current tires. Just like the struts will take current ball joints and inserts.
Still looking for 2nd set of rims to add sticky rubber

Those should fit fine. I tried 16x7 with a 205/50/16 and it fit on the left side but the right side was just up against the inner lip(worn suspension bushings
). Plus I think a few other people have said that one side has more space than the other.

how about 195 55 x 15

They are 205/60 R15 on all 4 corners. Not the highest performance, but it is a street car and the speedometer is relatively accurate.

I just got mine on today
205/50's on 15x7's. I need to massage the rear fenders just a tad, but I am extremely happy!
