When converting to 5 lug by purchasing PMB Performance's kits (www.pmbperformance.com), what Fuchs wheels are best to select if you do not want to roll your fenders? Do you stick to 15" wheels or can you move up to 16"'s without a problem? Can anyone provide a resource or listing of part numbers for the wheels that have the proper offset and that will fit? I did a search on the site but did not find anything to answer these specific questions. Thanks

for total stock unmolested fenders, 15x6 and 16x6 are the perfect size rim.....
a 205 series is the widest you'll want to run....... |

yes. in my experience. you can run 7" under a stock rolled lip you can run 8" under an agressively pulled rear fender.... you can run 9"s under standard GT flares.... |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Cheap and light is good for AX, been using cookies (6") for a long time. I'm going to weigh the new Boxster wheels (7x16) before I make the decision to install them. Let's see if Porsche was concerned about weight in their 'chick car'.
