Ok, so I really want to know will 16x7 work? Seems there are many more 16x7 than 16x6. So how big can you go with stock no molestation of the wheel wells?
My best current recommendation is 16x6 205x55 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Regards, james |

I have currently 205/45's on my 16x7 Fuchs. These fit great! I did try 205/55's but they would not fit under my stock rear quarter. I do have the lips rolled but not pulled. Interesting enought they fit the passenger side just barely. Drivers side they rubbed (typical stock 914 heh?).

I only ask b/c I think my 951 8's will actually come out about the same distance as SC 7's |

You *will* have to pull the fenders quite a bit ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |

17 X 7 on all four. 1/4" spacers in the back, 3/4" spacers in the front. Fender lips are rolled only as a precaution but would have just barely cleared. Also my drivers side is a tighter fit than the passengers side. 205/50 tires.

Going with 205/45/16 with 6 inch and 7 inch later fuchs. Slight highjack...anyone have a favorite tire in this size. I've been looking at the BF Goodrich sport with a Z rating. They sell for around $100 a tire.

I'm running stockers, but my fender gaps seem huge. I should probably go larger or lower the car.

I'm running 15x7" cookie cutters all around with 195/60's in the rear and 195/50's up front. I had to roll the rear fenders a tiny bit, but I have no clearance issues. Here are a couple pics. Thanks
