I'm not sure that 15x7 fit w/o being the version with 911R backspacing.
I'd love to have 16x7 with that backspacing, but they cost $ to have customs made. |

It's not just the wheels, it's the tires. With the wrong offset, as the
regular 7x15 is, you may be okay with narrower tires, like 195 if un-massaged fenders. |

My fenders have been pulled on. The tight spot is obviously the rear of the
rear fenders where the body starts bending in a bit. I built some 7.5x16 wheels with 38mm offset. To run Kumho V710 215/40/16 track tires with using -2 degrees camber it is very tight. There is no possible way I could fit a wider tire, both inner and outer would hit. Correct offset is about 35 to 33mm (I have assorted tiny spacers). My car is an original -6 so the hubs may not be in exactly the same place as the -4. Also on cars of this era there will always be differences from car to car and from left to right.  |

15x7" front, 8" rear.
Sorry for picture quality, a little hard to tell how much pull to the rear fenders in this view. No mods/pull up front, rolled inside lip only (..fits!).  |

My homely new project 7x15 with 225/50/15, sits kind of high even with the LS6. And a comparison with whitey 6x15 225/50/15 with pulled fenders and sits rather low.
