.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 |

First, I want to say this thread rocks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) just what I have been needing.
So, I will find out soon if my 15X6 and 15X7 cookies will fit narrow body or not I still want 2nd set of rims with "R" rubber for autoX and track days. Mine is only 2.0L 4 banger so I don't need to over tire, but don't want to under tire either. 16X6 enough? 16X7? Sounds like you have all done this before do I head for 944 section on Pelican to find these rims? Thanks Will |

The R wheels fit with the right spacers, but are very expensive (4k a pair). I think some of the Boxter wheels are similar offsets as the R and are available at a reasonable price. They would also need spacers and as everyone has pointed out, each of these cars are a little different and fitment is a car by car ordeal. Good luck |
