Marv, Fr= 7x 16 and Rr= 9x 16 . All without any spacers. Since my rear 9s are custom made (Europarts , N. Carolina) I'd say that the OE 8x 16 will be the limit with 245s in the back. The body shop also did a very gentle outward "Bow" to the rear wells , due to the variance of L vs R rear wells . They all came tighter on one side from the factory (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) ALSO - the boxster brake upgrade fits F and R with good clearence on the Fuchs.

Thanx for the reply Marty. I rec'd the 02 bung nuts, BTW your headers are a work of art, that collector is a very nice piece, and the welds are top notch.
About the spacers.. I have had 16X7's on the front of my stock body six. (theres pics of it here at the club somewhere, on a recent "blue" car thread) I'm thinkin with the GT flares I could fill out more of the flare and eliminate the rub on the inside? siverson? what did you do? Anyone else? |

I don't know if this info will help, but I am running 225-50's on 8 x 16 Fuchs on all 4 corners. I think the spacers are about 15 mm. 245's would fit on the back if I got rid of the spacers. Could even go larger if I rolled the fender lip.

I'm selling some custom Fuchs 7 x16 and 9 x 16, the 9's were custom made from original 6's.
They are currently on EBay, I think at $501 for the set, no reserve. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMESE%3AIT |

I have 7's and 9's on my car taken from a 930, with 225/50/16-245/45/16 hossiers. I use 1" spacers front and rear. I think I could use
1-1/2" spacers up front. The flares on my car arent the best install, and the car touched the wall at Pocono once (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) I believe you car stuff some bigger rubber on the 9's and get away with it! |

You should need ANY spacers with Fuchs....unless there is a need to "fill" the wheel well outboard....Later model P-car wheels need a minimum 1 inch up front and two in the rear....
