Hi All -
Just found a set of 15x9 replica fuchs. Thinking about throwing them on the rear of my car and throwing the 8"'s up front (if I can find tires....).
Anyone have any pics of 9" rears under fiberglass flares?

Thanks a million - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Wow,
It's really getting hard to find a performance tire in the right size to fit that rim size now! .....I actually sold my 15x8 and 15x9s because of that very reason and I bought 16x7s for the front and put 16x9s on the rear with glass flairs....I even used a 1/4 " spacer on the back....Fit is perfect. Check out pics at 914 club...under Speedster Mike Photos. Good Luck!

Replica fuchs, 7x16's and 8x16's with 205's and 225's stock sizes.

fiberglass flares with the rear inner lip sanded off. It was a really close fit. Stock size flares.

I don't think 9's would have fit back there.

we have 16x8 front and back on Huey. don't think I could go 9 on the back.
Oh, sorry, steel flares now, but we had glass originally when we wrecked in Targa.

I have 16in 245's on 9in BBS rims on the back with FG flares. They're offset is different from the other set of Fuchs, but different spacers make it easy. The inner-well lips had to be filed a bit to get them into the well and neg-camber is usually between 2 and 3 degrees. Point is there is some variation in the flare installations that may determine your clearance, but 15's would be easier for sure.

And in case you're wondering, because it's not an unusual position, this is what 8's and 9's look like on jack stands. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
