Rich Johnson, myself and a few others run 7in in rear with stock fenders. We moved the hub in which sets the wheel in. Mine is 3/4 inch in and I run 911 axles and stubs without spacers, they bolt right in. There are a couple of ways to do this. First is to cut a section from your hub housing, cut hole for caliper and box hole or run 911 caliper. Second is to move the mounting bar, box trailing arm and use an extended shock mount bolt. I like the second best because I pick up better control in tight turns, great for AX

Could you post a pic of your setup, I've seen some pics of Johnsons but that was a long time ago

The car has a 930 transmission, with 930 suspension and brakes along with the appropriate axles etc. That might explain why they fit?
