Hello all,

I know this topic has been beaten to death but one more time couldn't hurt right? I am nearing the end of my part collecting odyssey for 5 lug conversion and am now wondering on tire fitment on my narrow car. I have fuchs 16x6 and 7 and originally purchased falken azenis 205/40/16 size tires to go with the setup. Now that I am older and wiser I am wondering the following.....

- Will my 205/40s fit under the narrow rears with a redrilled hub rotor 914-4 setup on the 7" rim?
- Will 205/ 40s fit on a 7" rim at all?
- If they will do I want to run this low a profile tire (82mm)?
- Can I squeeze more tire under the rears 215/50 225/50 (without manipulating fenders)
- I am told I will have to work the fenders to fit 7s at all. If this is the case should I just get the 215s or 225 I want and work the fenders accordingly?
- From a car value standpoint I have to assume on 75' 2.0, the added value of a 911 suspension set up should offset any negative effects of the rolled/pulled fenders. Is this correct thinking? I know these cars are becoming collectable but I'm not really hurting myself here right?
- I am thinking of Dunlop direzza 215/50/R16 as the compromise can I do this.

I know 16x6s all around is the pain free path.......but that extra inch in the back is just so cool....AND I have em already.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Andrew
