Can anyone tell me what the clearance between the inside lip of a 6" or 7" Fuchs and the body is please? My car hasn't arrived yet to measure it myself.

Happy New Year all from Down Under.

Thanks for the feedback guys, it was the inside lip I was wondering about. I am assembling some BBS RS wheels for my 77 911 which I can't get the exact backspace as a Fuchs, it ends up slightly wider on the inside. My thought was to also bolt them onto the 914 that has 6" Fuchs.
I'm in Brisbane where there are a few more like minded people than your area. What size tyre is fitted to your 7?
I have seen images of other cars with 7" Fuchs on the rear that don't look to have had the rear guard pushed out/or pushed out a lot anyway, I assume they are only a 205 width tyre max?
