Guys I am thinking of having a 6 x 15 fuchs turned into a 7 x 15 ET 47 sometimes called the 7R wheel. 216/60 x 15 for the rear and does it fit without pulling the fender? I assume I have to add a spacer in the rear say 12mm and the rest of the wider wheel goes to the inside???? Anybody run this size and et rears wheel with that size tire?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi Jim,

You can get a repo 7R for around $700. Something for you to think on.

Mark S is putting a pair on his car at PMB Performance. Sell your 15s and the cost of getting the wheels made, it may be a a better deal?

Thanks Bob - do you know if the 7R replica or even the original 7R was based on the deep 6 wheel vs the flat 6 wheel? I do appreciate the input from everyone. Jim
