This topic I'm sure has been covered many times however, I need to plow this ground again because I don't have a clue. What size tire came on the original 2.0 factory Fuchs.
Thanks |

The original Fuchs were 14". The steelies were 15" and had 165-15 as noted above.
My OEM '71 6 with the 14" Fuchs had 185-14's which is I think a size not even available anymore. That is what it had on it when I got it in the mid 80's... |

The original 4 bolt variety (known as 2L Fuchs, which is what the op asked about) were 15" which came on 4 cylinder models. |

My vintage Porsche friends use Vredestein.
