Does anyone know if 930 turbo Fuchs, 7" and 9", will fit under "standard" GT flares?

What is a standard GT Flare?
Mine has original GT Flares (not reproduction) and it has used 9x16 ET15 wheels for the last 35 years or so.  |

The factory GT flare used a thinner gauge metal and the flange (down by the sidewall is not as much. Mine (Replica) had to be trimmed to fit those wheels. |

I run those with (3) 1/4" spacers in the rear. 930 Turbo front hubs with no spacers.   Are the new flares that much narrower than the originals? |
