 Figured I would share a few pics of my 5 lug swap on my 75. I used 3.5 spaced 911 struts and Boxster calipers all around using the Rebel Racing kit. Wheels are 16x6 and 16X7 fuchs with 195/55/16s on all 4. I originally had 911 wheels all the way around but the rears had a slight interference with the calipers. Rather than use spacers I switched to 951 rears and the fit is great.  |

Did you have to use spacers so the wheels didn't rub on the caliper? I have the same conversion and the 7" Euromeister wheel rubbed the caliper on the inside.

The rear setup with 911 Fuchs would have needed a 1/8" spacer. The caliper was touching the rim. I switched to a 951 fuch in back and it has plenty of clearance. Same size wheel, same offset, but the spokes are pushed forward a bit and the mounting hub on the wheel is deeper to make up for it. |

Ah, that is the key....get 951 fuchs. |
