Narrow body fuch 7R fitment, anyone running fuch 7R wheels? Options

[tomkirkcis]

Wheel stud length? I am confused as to what is the factory stud length. I seem to be finding conflicting info on the internet. I thought the studs were 45mm . Eric recommended 56mm which would make sense for 8 or 10mm spacers. Then I found this add this add on Paragon.



Replace those tired and damaged wheel studs with our new pieces or increase the length for use with spacers.

Here's a basic list of sizes used as original:

45mm - 944 83-86, 924S (front); 924S, 944 85.5-89, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo, 968 (rear)
50mm - 944 85.5-89, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo, 968 (front)
52mm - 911 65-89 (front and rear)
66mm - 911 Turbo 76-89 (front)
66mm - 944 83-85.1 (rear w/factory spacer)
72mm - 911 Turbo 76-89 (rear)

A 914-6 isn't listed but I would think it should be the same as a 911 Anyone know for certain what is the original stud length on a 914-6?

Thanks

I have had a chance to drive the car a couple hundred miles and everything is working out great. The tire fitment is very tight, but no rubs. The car handles so much better with the bigger rubber and the combination of 225's and the LSD has not resulted in any tire spin.

I have not had the car on the track

First, I want to say this thread rocks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) just what I have been needing.

So, I will find out soon if my 15X6 and 15X7 cookies will fit narrow body or not

I still want 2nd set of rims with "R" rubber for autoX and track days. Mine is only 2.0L 4 banger so I don't need to over tire, but don't want to under tire either.

16X6 enough? 16X7? Sounds like you have all done this before do I head for 944 section on Pelican to find these rims?

Thanks

I had fittment issues in the back with 15x7 cookies but I fixed that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
that was with 205x50 Kumho's for AXing.

Now I am running 16x6's and 205x50x16's without any problems, its nice.

15 x 7 cookies do NOT fit on a narrow body without massaging the sheet metal. The R wheels fit with the right spacers, but are very expensive (4k a pair). I think some of the Boxter wheels are similar offsets as the R and are available at a reasonable price. They would also need spacers and as everyone has pointed out, each of these cars are a little different and fitment is a car by car ordeal. Good luck

This chart help me when I was trying to decide when switching from 14" x 5.5" fuchs to 16 x 6 fuchs on a /6. There are so many factors since there are some wide 205's.

So 911R with 27 mm spacer is just about equal to 911.361.020 if I figure that right.

Am I correct?
