What the Fuch? Options

[stevegm]

I’m trying to determine some pieces of information related to putting 5-lug Fuchs on a stock-fendered 914. Any help would be appreciated. Here is what I am trying to figure out:

1. What is the largest size wheel that will fit? Both 15” and 16”
2. What is the largest size tire that will fit on the above wheels (without rolling the fender lips or pulling the fenders out)?
3. Do the results of questions 1 & 2 change depending on whether one changes to 5-lug by changing the suspension to 914-6 suspension vs. using drilled rotors such as those sold by PMB?

Anybody know?

EDIT:

4. Are the 5-lug Fuchs heavier than standard 4-lug Fuchs, etc.? I am wondering if they will over-tire the 4-cylinder, and bog it.

Sorry for such detailed questions. I’m just trying to understand what my options are.

One idea - If I can’t find a reasonably-priced six suspension, I’m considering using the 5-lug suspension from my original six on my ‘72 four, while the six undergoes extensive rustoration (likely to take years at my pace).
