Hello guys! Can you please share more pictures of 16” wheels on your cars?

Just bought 2, 16”x6” Fuchs for my car waiting to see how they fit before I get the second pair.
Also can you share some tire Size I can use.

No pictures, but 16x6 will fit with no real issue, tire size will make the difference. Several members have 6’s on their cars. Hopefully they will chime in.

I am reading 205/55/16 will fill the arches, is that enough? Or should I buy the 7” for the rear?

Looks like some cars will fit 7s fine, and some will not.
The ones that don't, can be fixed with a small amount of rolling the fenders.

I have a car that shouldn't be modified and wimped out.

I got the 6s to be "on the safe side".

For a 205 cross section tire I really wanted 8s...

I went with 205/55/16. Absolutely perfect regarding diameter.

Look great on the 6s.

I purchased the Fuchs 911 copies from DR911 in 16X6

https://dr911.ca/product-category/wheels/16-x-6/

After purchase many members said I was purchasing from a rip off artist.

DR911 came through fine for me. I am happy with my wheel purchase through them.

In thf future with that vendor I will try to use PayPal instead of direct CC.

If you're planning to change over to 5 lug, do your homework.

PMB now has 914 front rotors with 5 lug and rear flanges that fit the 914 stubs with 5 lug (Uro brand).

I run these wheels (Fuchsfelge Forged 'Continuation' Wheels) and almost that same tire - 205/60/R15s

Photos of the rear fitment. Rear, after rolling slightly I can just barely fit my fingers.

For the front I can comfortably fit my whole hand and see NO rubbing.

Here is a shot of the setup 'in the wild'

I think the fitment is pretty good.

I split the new replies to the 8 year old thread into a new thread. Enjoy...

These are 8' on the front with 225-50's and 10's on the rear with 245-45's. They are replica's that someone was running on their 911 turbo. Click to view attachment

Fuchsfelge USA 16x6 wheels with 205/55R16 tires on my old '73 that was lowered quite a bit. Long before I went 5 lug the rear fenders were rolled, so I can't really speak to rear clearance. Front was fine except at full lock & low speed it would rub the inside sidewall on the driver's wheel, and the change in scrub radius made them skip a little at low speed as well.

6x16's all four corners with stock size 205/55/16's. No rubbing, no modifications.

16x6" all around on this 2L

If you go to 7’s, it usually requires such a skinny tire ( less than 205) that it doesn’t seem worth it. Rolling a fender lip usually cracks the paint and at least in my mind, makes the fender look poor. A six inch wheel with a 205 tire fits without mods, 95% of the time and is still a lot of tire for a light, low, mid engined car. Too much tire can also feel a lightly powered car feel sluggish. None of this is an absolute but just things to think about if you think wider is better.

I can’t find a pic right now but I’ve seen 6x16” Fuchs painted to look like 15”. The black extends further up the face of the wheel. It’s what I would do with 16”. Otherwise, I don’t care for them over the look of 15” wheels.

16x7's All around

16x6 with 195/55x16 tires.

On the car or off? I have a few sets of these to restore...

Remember when you couldn't give a 6x16" Fuch away? Then people (like me) started gobbling them up to make modular Fuchs.

Thanks for posting; like that look. Makes a 16 look more like a 15 ?

Post #8 shows a set painted this way on my '73 I didn't care for the less-painted look with polished paddles on a 16x6 either. Luckily FFUSA offers them with that finish style.

I thought I had a problem,

“ Hi, my name is Rick, and I have a wheel problem”


Welcome, welcome brother Rick………

These are both 16" wheels on both 914's, both refinished by Harvey Weidman several years ago. One with smaller area of black and one with more black going onto the rim.

At first I liked the "more" black better but now I prefer the other... all personal taste.Click to view attachment Click to view attachment

Thank you all! Really helpful!

Just bought my first pair of wheels and tires 16/6 and 205/55/16 as soon as I fit them I will reply with some pictures.
After I see in the flesh how it fits I will get the second pair… which I think will be square 16/6…
Thanks again!

Very nice car!!

I never noticed the tangerine racing fenders before, and they are awesome!
As you say is not really what I am looking for right now but a great option in the future! (Maybe)…
Many Thanks . O! And nice picture

Hello,
here you can see pictures of my car with 16" Fuchs and 16" BBS E50
When you scroll down with 15" Fuchs also.... ;-)

Admitting you have a problem is the first step. Good thing I didn't post them all.
