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

9’s may or may not fit. Tires will make a difference. You want to check fit before you do bodywork and paint. The flares can be “adjusted” to fit.

When I did mine, I did not have the wheels and tires till after I mounted the flares. Just made sure everything was fit equally, to maximum width. Me too! When my flares were done, all we had were 7 & 8 x 15 wheels, but later figured out that 9x16 fit all 4 corners so it made it so much more simple. No problems except trimming some of the sheet metal in the front fenders to clear when turning the wheels. Used to run (2) 1/4" spacers on all 4 corners until swapped in a 930 complete front end and found out the hubs spaced the wheels out. Then we moved to (3) 1/4" spacers in the rears with 9x16 and no spacers in front with 9x16. I don't even think the lips are rolled, but they might be. |
