Well if it fits may be bitchin

Who has rear shot and wheel well shots of 15"X7" 5 lug fuchs on narrow body?

I didn't think they would fit confused24.gif

If you put 205 50 x 15 on 6" in front and 7" in back how will diameters effect things?

help please my education continues

Along with my endless enjoyment of my car drooley.gif

7" fuch fit fine but can be a little close in back. Depends on what tire you use. With 205/60 or a lower profile 205/50 you shouldn't have a problem. I have 16x7 fuchs on all 4 corners with 215/45's. My passenger side rear needed just a minor pull to fit

so for all you tire wizards

if I put 15X6 on front and 15X7 on rear

Do I run same tire on all 4 corners? or do I run 215 45 in rear and 205 50 in front etc?

how do I get same diameter on wider rim?

Good to know they will fit, I love a staggered look

Thanks
Will

Have 15/7 cookies on all 4 on the six conversion. Driver's side rear is very close with 185/65/15, but then I'm not a real racer anymore.

Oh, no pics ... I'm to lazy.

forget Boregon and the PNW ... you have to quack to live there and I am fully capable of pumping my own gas.

Way to messy ... the M3 that got cut in the James Bond movie was much cleaner ... Hooray for Hollywierd.

Bit of an older pic but these are 16x7's with Hoosier 205/45R16's. Max negative camber and fender lips pulled n' rolled. Previously I used 15x7 cookies with 205/50's and they fit fine.

Slightly off topic but if someone has a clean pair of 16x8 Fuchs with the black center and polished lip I've been looking for a set! biggrin.gif

My 74 before I got it from –duc. It had 7’ with 215/45/16 back and front and the fenders are pulled just a little. ¼? but the edge of the well is rolled in the back.

So, think I am buying 16X6 Fuchs

On my Olympic Blue like this, now do I run 215/45 or 205/50's ?

Thoughts?

ok so I bought these 15X6 and 15X7 cookie cutters

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911...ie-cutters.html

Going cheap route to get it done on my 5 lug, these will take my current tires. Just like the struts will take current ball joints and inserts.

Still looking for 2nd set of rims to add sticky rubber happy11.gif

Those should fit fine. I tried 16x7 with a 205/50/16 and it fit on the left side but the right side was just up against the inner lip(worn suspension bushings blink.gif ). Plus I think a few other people have said that one side has more space than the other.

how about 195 55 x 15

They are 205/60 R15 on all 4 corners. Not the highest performance, but it is a street car and the speedometer is relatively accurate.

I just got mine on today piratenanner.gif 205/50's on 15x7's. I need to massage the rear fenders just a tad, but I am extremely happy!

Those look good on there. I like the cookies as they are relatively inexpensive and are factory parts.
