Hi there, it's been a while since I posted. I will be getting my car back tomorrow or the next day, RUST FREE! Being 17 years old, I worked two jobs for the last six months and realized I'll actually have money left over for rims! I'm debating whether I'll do a 5 lug conversion, or stick with the 4 lug. Anyone post what you've got, right now fuchs(replicas of course) are at the top of my list, but I want to see other ideas. Thanks and have a nice day! Here's my 71, only 90k miles! Finally coming together

16x 6" front and 16x7" rear with 205/55 16 tires restored 911 5 lug fuchs So based on ^ picture, if I keep the stock 15x5.5 Mahles, 205/55s should work fine, so 205/50s are within the realm of the possible! You might find 5.5" wheels to be too narrow to mount 205s, check your tire manufacturers specs. But if they do fit, you will have a lot of sidewall bulge. |
