Narrow body fuch 7R fitment, anyone running fuch 7R wheels? Options

[tomkirkcis]

.I have been running searches for a couple of hours but can't find any info on fitment of 7r fuchs on a 914.

I have a narrow body 1970 factory 914-6 that has a hot 3.2SS motor and a close ratio LSD box Dr Evil built for me. It currently has 205/50 on 6 x 15 fuchs. Not enough tire .

I have some AA metal flairs I got in a group buy a couple of years ago that I inteneded to install. I have four 9 x 16 fuchs that I was going to install all around . Certainly would take care things

I am having second thoughts about installing flairs. It is just so much fun having a stock looking 914 with a big motor.

I have access to a set of 4 7r Fuchs with 225/50 Brigestones. These are the Fuchs with the large backspacing

Is anyone have 7Rs fitted to a narrow body?
What tires can you fit?
What spacers?

Thanks
Tom

Wheel stud length? I am confused as to what is the factory stud length. I seem to be finding conflicting info on the internet. I thought the studs were 45mm . Eric recommended 56mm which would make sense for 8 or 10mm spacers. Then I found this add this add on Paragon.



Replace those tired and damaged wheel studs with our new pieces or increase the length for use with spacers.

Here's a basic list of sizes used as original:

45mm - 944 83-86, 924S (front); 924S, 944 85.5-89, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo, 968 (rear)
50mm - 944 85.5-89, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo, 968 (front)
52mm - 911 65-89 (front and rear)
66mm - 911 Turbo 76-89 (front)
66mm - 944 83-85.1 (rear w/factory spacer)
72mm - 911 Turbo 76-89 (rear)

A 914-6 isn't listed but I would think it should be the same as a 911 Anyone know for certain what is the original stud length on a 914-6?

Thanks
