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.

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.
