I picked up some 7 inch wide cookies at Hershey.
I think I'll be able to stuff them under my non-flared car. Am I on crack? Zach |

In the first pic I have 7x15 Fuchs with 205/50/15 tires + stock fenders. Fuchs were 911R with bigger ET.
In the second pic I have 7x16 Fuchs with 205/50/16 in front and 205/55/16 in rear. The trailing arms in rear are 20mm narrowed both sides.

Do you have any pictures of the modifications you did the the trailing arms? I have a set of 7x16 Fuchs that I'll be putting on my car. I love the way yours look with both the 15" & 16" wheels but prefer the look of the 16' wheels like yours in the second picture. That is a beautiful car! Why did you go with 205/55's in the rear? I was thinking of going with 205/50's front and rear on mine. What type tires are you running? |

I was thinking of going with 205/50's front and rear on mine. What type tires are you running? I made these about 12 years ago. Here are couple of pics. In the #1 is the jig. I had to make both sides own jig. #2 One done. See the difference. #3 Painted. #4 Installed with 911 e-brake. Tires are just normal tires. I bougth 205/55´s first, but they were too big in front. Then chanced to 205/50´s in front. I like the look and the end gearing with bigger rear tires is a little better.
