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.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Yep, I had to trim all 4 once I had the wheels. But only the top inside edge. The rest with spacers worked out. Minimum clearance inside and out, front just clearing the shock, rear 1/4” off the body. |
