Will be fitting some GT wings from AA soon. The question is what 5 stud wheels to fit.

I'm restricted to 6inch width due to race rules.

I want to stick with Fuchs. So what offset Fuchs do I need? I'm completely green to this so I don't know if there's a certain serial number to look for in a Fuch wheel that ='s the offset.

All help and advice greatfully received (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

When you say you'll be adding GT wings from AA do you mean fender flares? If that's what you mean I think you're going to have a hard time getting 6 inch wide wheels to look right as they will be too narrow. The Fuchs 6 inch wheels in 15 or 16 inch diameter have an offset of 23. Most guys with flares are running at least 7 inch wide wheels up front and at least 8 in the rear if not wider on both ends to " fill out " the flares. I guess you could add spacers to push out the wheels but it's still going to look funny with skinny tires.
