Hi, I have a set of 16x6 &7" fuchs I'd like to replace those with 15x7 & 8" and weld on GT flares; I have brakes off of a 1989 911.. Will the 15" wheels clear the brake calipers? Will I need spacers for to correct the offset? Are the 15" significantly more expensive? I'm not sure what my 6&7s are worth? I here the tires are more difficult to find but I'm ok with "R" compound...
Thanks for the help.. |

The brakes should fit fine. Wheel offset should be fine as well, but what is the risk? You can get wheel spacers easily. Wheel value will depend on condition.
