Does anyone have a (5 lug) 15x6, 15x7, 15x8, 16x7 or 16x8 Fuchs rim that I can use to check fitment on my 914? Can be Fuchs original or 911/914 ofset replica. Preference would be a 7 inch wide wheel, but any of the sizes above should be sufficient to check fitment. I can even do this at your location, no need for me to take your wheel with me. Many thanks in advance!

Nothing is going to fit in the back with a 1" adapter. You should have included that in the post.
A 7" fits with rolled fenders. A 6" is a nice fit. |

I've actually had 2 different 914 people tell me that a 16x6 Fuchs will fit with the 1" wheel adapter, and that a 16x7 should fit fine as well. I do have my doubts, but already have the wheel adapters, so why not find out first hand? Worst case, I spend an afternoon driving and pulling a wheel off my 914. |

I've got 16x7, 15x7, and 15x6 sets at my garage in Noblesville if you ever get up this way. Rob |

Had the opportunity to try several different Fuchs sizes last week. What I found: 1) A 16x6 fits excellent on the front with the 1" adapter. No issues. A 16x7 will work too, though if you were in a turn, there is a slight chance it might make contact with the lower spoiler, if you compress the front suspension enough - though this is not likely... 2) A 16x7 sticks out too much for the rear, but a 16x6 seemed to work OK with the adapter, though a 15x5.5 would definitely work better with zero issues. |
