I finally bought a set of fuchs for my 914 but I actually have no clue if they will fit or not. I know that they will fit under a narrow body 911 but I have concerns about the 8's squeezing under the rear of the teener. fronts are 7" rears are 8's

23.3 mm ET and 138mm backspace

I have em on my car 245/50-16's ,P/N start with 951. Fenders require a great bit of fender rolling to fit , mine still need more work.
I can take more detailed pics tomorrow ,If needed.

Thanks for the picture those look great. The ones I bought start with 951:

Fronts: Serial #951362113

Rears: Serial #95136117

I never dreamed I could stuff a 245 under stock body work. SWEET!

Are you running 205's in the front?
JRust
8's on a narrow body car aren't happening. Unless as Jeff said you do some serious fender rolling. Not just the lip but the whole fender needs to be pulled some. I would try to find another pair of 7's to match & sell the 8's. As with all 914 projects anything can work with $$$$ or alot of elbow grease dry.gif

The 951 8's are the best offset for a 914, 15x8's fuchs require an inch more and door gaps get real goofy.

You can't. Unless you consider pulling the fenders out 1" *stock* ...

They both look sweet. It would be interesting to see a shot from that angle on your car. The second photo does not look like 951's ... just looks like they have a lot of lip on them.... sweet though.

I've got 951 7x16's on the rear with 225/50's - required stretching of the fenders for sure.

Jeff,

How much camber are you running on the rear, looks like 2 degrees+
