So I took a chance on putting on 16X7 on a stock body, not going to work. Put the wheel on with no tire and it was easy to see I had a problem. Brake clearance was not a issue but the fender sure was. Stock 4 Fuchs has a 45 ET and the 16x6 Boxster has a 50ET. 23.3 offset was going the wrong way. Looks like I would need a 7R wheel but they are 15".

Is the suspension 'unsprung' in the pictures? Does anyone know if the suspension tilts inward on compression?
It certainly looks like the wheel will not fit in the pictures. |

QUOTE(gothspeed @ Feb 21 2018, 08:19 AM)  Is the suspension 'unsprung' in the pictures? Does anyone know if the suspension tilts inward on compression? It will tilt inward some on compression, especially with a bunch of negative camber. I am pretty sure it won't be nearly enough to let you put a tire on that rim and have it fit. --DD |
