5 lugs with all 911 rotors, brakes etc, etc,
So here's the million dollar question. Right now the car came with 928 rims that use a 1" spacer for offset (I only had the rears off but assuming the fronts do too). Here's the tire size: 205/55 ZR16 BTW they fit and no rubbing or nothing. Fenders all look stock to me but definately no flares. Can I assume the Fuchs 7 X 16 running the same tire will be exactly like these? I mean maybe the offset needs to be adjusted but there are SO many people with opinions on what will and will not work. I would love to hear your thoughts. Dave |

As best I can tell, 7 inch wheels with 205 tires don't fit a stock rear end of a 914 except some rare cases.
Mine running 7x15 with 195/65 15's barely cleared my rolled rear fenders, 205's would not. Are the 928 wheels 7 inch wide? Jim PS: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

Yes..... there 7" or at least that's what I was told (Just bought the car). Just went and measure the width and it's 7". Rear Fenders have rolled inner in tact. Hmmmm.
