16 X 7 Fuchs clone wheel fitment question Options

[technicalninja]

New member here...

I'm piss poor at the search function on this site and was trying to find fitment info on this set up.

https://fuchswheelcompany.ca/product/16x7-f...eel-for-porshe/

They list it a 16X7 with an offset of 23.3.

From what I have found so far, they look like they might require 12 mm spacers to work on a stock 75 914 narrow body.

This car will be at or near stock ride height and a weekend play toy. It currently has no sway bars but that will probably change...

I'm planning on using PBR's 5 lug 914-4 front rotors, the Uro 914 5 lug rear flange with turned down PBR 914-6 rear rotors, and stock calipers.

I'd like to use this tire. (205/60r16)

I'm new to the 914 and can't figure offsets properly yet on this chassis

I would appreciate thoughts, tips and any suggestions.

Do I have a chance?

I e-mailed DR911 and got a responce.

Their wheels are also TUV certified.

That was enough for me...

Ordered 4 @ 210 each. $840 delivered to my shop with black closed lug nuts which look pretty decent IMO. Also includes center caps with painted crests.
Jurys still out on if they will be ok.

I'll post pics after I get them.

I decided to wimp out and not go 7" on the wheels. The standard 7 offset is 23.3 and fender rolling MIGHT be necessary. The car these are going on will stay totally "stock" in regards to the body.

Porsche themselves puts 205 section widths on 6" anyway.

I prefer a 7 or even an 8 for this width as these widths better supports the tire for performance reasons.

This car will be a weekend toy for me and my 82 year-old father and it will never see a race track.

Now, had a 7" been available with a 30-35 mm ET the decision would have been more difficult.

We also own a 76 basket case fiberglass 916 clone that will need buttloads of metal work and this is the car that I will heavily modify.

It will end up with steel fenders and monster tires.

Thanks again for all the help. I far better understand back spacing on a 914 chassis now.

You guys definitely helped me make my choice.
