Pictures of 914s running 7 inch fuchs, plus rolled arches preferably, at both ends...

If you'd be so kind, let the dog see the rabbit!

Mine, 16x7's front and rear. Front is untouched, rear is rolled and pulled, but 215x50 tires, so a bit wider than normal.

Here are a couple of my early 914s. The yellow one is a 1975 with 7x16 front and rear, and the black one is a 914-6 conversion, that eventually was transformed into blackula, the last pic.

15x7 w/ 205/50 (could be 55, can't remember and out of town right now) all around. Like everyone else, stock front fenders, had to pull the rears, but Mark at Eurotech Bodywerkes did such a great job it's hard to tell. Rear driver side is super tight, but no rubbing after a year and a half. Front struts have raised spindles.

PM me if there's some specific angle you're after. I took a full set after I got my car painted.

Try this thread, but note that MoveQik is using 951 offset wheels, so not all 8's are equal. I think the black car in the thread has 911 8's on. Tons of pics if you search titles for "Fuchs".

Thanks for the link. That thread was going so well... until the tyres started rubbing!

Th reason I'm asking for pics and options is that I am trying (not very hard though tbh) to talk myself out of putting GT arches on my car.
I'm pretty fixed on 15x7s and 8s, so v.interested on what can be / has been done...

Yep I could do a search, but everyone loves an excuse to post pics of their own cars ;-)

Oh that looks good. Are they really 7s at both ends?
If so, is it a case of lots of spacers needed, to fill the GT arches like that?

How did you do that, do the 951 wheels have the right offset to allow this?

I really should have had Scotty pull mine a bit to allow for 7" wide rears...more tire and great looks.

If there's an offset that works stock like yours it may be worth searching for a set.

I’m very impressed by the different solutions folks here have employed to accommodate fatter rubber. Although GT flares look great when done right and make a definite statement, I personally prefer a more subtle look. I’m pleasantly surprised that a number of other members apparently feel the same way, as I previously thought my car was very much the outlier. Meanwhile, I flatter myself that my car is reminiscent of Piech’s 914-8 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Attached is my contribution to this thread. Pulled and rolled to accommodate 205X60 R-15s. In case anyone is wondering: The car and wheels are the same in both pics. Second shot taken about a year later after the wheel caps were painted
