I think 19ga is the closest in thickness to body panels. 20ga is slightly thinner than fender metal.

We are a car club and if we can shed any insight into what works where, I think that is good. We all have visions. I followed Ron’s posting on how he widened the body and I thought
(That looks easy) looked easy but not if you do not have that skillset.

On my 6 with 30 ( Number 41) I was running 8 and 9s 911 numbers on Fuchs and decided to change out the wheels to 16in x 8 and 7x16 911-part numbers. The fit is great IMHO. This picture in front of PMB Performance shows that change. You have so much to deal with already why not make it easier on yourself?


I had a 914 V8 car in 1979 with fiberglass fender flares fitting 8s up front and 11s in back very shiny black paint. It looked very badass for back then it had center lines and P7s and it handled great but I was more impressed in the Straight-Line performance. I bought that car from Johnny one of the guitar players in Earth, wind and fire . I drove it over the canon ( Beverly Glen) in Los Angeles every day for several months . Handled fine but had a big ass. Parking is a little weird
