7" back in the day would have had to have been the 7R would they not? (911R offset)
I don't think so. I think by '72 Porsche was also working on the street 911RS which used a 7x15 rear, 23mm offset and 6x15 front (for most configurations)
Plus, the 911R 7x15 would have a 49(?)mm offset and wouldn't have needed flares to begin with (except for perhaps racing homologation purposes).
911 7x15s use a 23mm offset which makes them rub the outside of stock 914 fenders, thus Porsche's use of flairs. I do not know if spacers were used. I wonder if Ludvigsons book mentions it...
Looks like the "brown" one has 8 or 9x16s on the back.
Looks like the Brumos/Gregg/Hussey/Carlson car has upgraded wheels.. they look like 7 and 8s front/rear which would make sense to an enthusiast to put on even larger than original ones.
