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?

Those look like standard 15x7 23mm offset fuchs to me. To fill the fenders you would still need spacers.

Yes. The factory ran 1" spacers on the 7" front wheels on the GTs, so it is very likely that's what they used on the 916s as well (front and rear) ...
