original wheel setup of 916 Options

[Gustl]

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?

thanks Al, but as you know, the original 916 setup included only 185/70 VR 15's all around
those are 40 mm (30 mm) smaller each

and - what breakes do you use?

and - what rims exactly do you use?
all of them are 7Jx15" Fuchs
911 361 020 01 => ET 23,3 (light weight)
911 361 020 41 => ET 23,3
911 361 012 05 => ET 49

G- I checked the backs to make sure they were all Fuchs & the part #'s are 911 361 020 41 in the front & 911 361 020 42 in the back. I had all 4 wheels refinished & sold the ones that came w/ the car. They were the same size as the ones I got off of the 944, only oxidized & pitted. Yes, I know I have big fat rubber & I like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)!! Brakes are mid 1970's 911S in the front & soon to have Erics' GT converted brakes in the rear. Right now the rear brakes are stock 914-6 units.
