914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Stock Fender Fuchs Size

Posted by: germaneighter Dec 6 2005, 02:11 PM

What size options do I have in Fuchs 5 spoke that will fit stock fenders? What are the easiest to come by?
I will be re-drilling the 4 lug hubs.

thanks

6x15 will fit fine. The "shallow" 6's are about $5-600 for 4.
6x16 also fit and can sometimes be found for $400-500. 7x16 will likely require rolling/pulling the rear. In all cases 205 is as wide as you can go, sometimes only 195. Of course the 5.5x14's work easily (factory option wheel on 914-6). All are readily available on Ebay, thesamba.com and other places.

Also 5.5x15 Fuchs are available and fit, although 6x15 is better for the 205 width tires.

Are there different offsets for the 6 X 15 rim?

yes and there's a chart that has been floating around many threads here that lists ALL Fuchs wheels ever made with offset and other specs and part # ...

No, there's only one offset for 6x15 Fuchs, even though there
are 2 different types.

There are 6x15 phone dials that are 52mm offset.

And there are 6x15 cookie cutters that are same offset as Fuchs.
