I have an opportunity to trade with a Bug/Ghia guy who wants my 4 x 130mm 15x5.5J Enkei wheels + tires for a set of 15 x6 and 15x7 Cookie Cutters.
Anyone running these under stock fenders? Will be using the proper hubs, not wheel adapters. Thanks Brian |

Brian,
Some people claim it'll fit on the rear with no pulling of the fenders, on my old 914 I had 16x7 Phonedials with the same 23mm offset (those Cookies should have that offset) and 205/50 tires...I had to pull out the fenders just a tad bit near the trailing edge of the fender openings. |

Very Cool.. I am aware of the typical assymetry car to car.
So I'll be cautious with my baseball bat. Thanks Brian |

I run 15x7's cookies with Kumho's for my AX/track tires. It took alot to fit the back finally stretching the back out with a old Boge shock insert. Many passes and lots of cracked paint and they work gud.
I had to due the fronts too. now I need to repaint the effin car besides all the other crap to be done. |

Same here...stock fenders but pulled & rolled a bit in the rears, and I run 15x7's (Cookies) and 16x7's (Fuchs) with Kumhos and Hoosiers.
Keep in mind the tire choice does make a difference. Tire makes and models can vary in section width and tread width, within the same nominal size. Hoosiers run wide. |
