from what I know, the original 916 had 7x15 Fuchs with 185/70-15
what about wheel spacers ? or - what offset do this 7x15 have? is this enaugh to fill the fender flares? I mean, the M471 cars had 6x15 with 185/70-15 and used 21 mm wheel spacers who could tell us more? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |

on my clone I'm using 15x8 in the back w/ 225/60HR15's, & in the front I'm using 15x7 w/ 215/60HR15's. I did not have to use any spacers in the back to fill out the flares, but in the front I used 21mm porsche spacers, off of a 944, w/ 65mm wheel studs. All wheels are genuine Fuchs, however I have no idea what the offset is. These filled out the front flares nicely. Al (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) |
