You know, it's probably worth it to call the guys who do the 17" Fuchs. If they can't I bet they know who can.
Search 17" or Fuchs here and you should find the threads about them with links. |

Of the few places that can widen your 15" Fuchs, they will only be able to add the additional width to the inside of the wheel.
the problem with that is you might now hit the struts or trunk wall unless you run spacers to compensate for the new offset cost is ~200 per wheel Search on this site for widening, SirAndy was the thread starter.....you can also do a google search, I found a place in Canada (Victoria area I think) that quoted me the above price |

Lucas at Go Westy used to widen Vanagon wheels...don't know if he still does, or if he could do the Fuchs, but it might be worth asking. Despite the name of the website, he is not just a VW guy. He drives a beautiful 356 cabriolet.

It would probably be cheaper to do a 5 lug conversion and then put 15x7 Fuchs on the car.
