Narrow body with 16 inch Fuchs

[nckzck]

Hello all. I have a 1970 911T that I want to put 16 X 6 and 16 X 7 inch Fuchs on. I would greatly appreciate it if members would please share pics of their un-flared cars with these rims, any fitment issues you experienced, and what brand and size tires you are using on your car.

Thank you in advance!

Here you go.

Thanks for the picture! What size tires are you using, and are your fenders rolled a lot?

The car is Jeff Higgins, 16x7, no fender rolling on 205/55s. It has a little clearance problem with the top of the fender that would be cured by another half degree negative camber or a quarter inch shaved off of the back of the wheel's mating face.

I think it depends on the wheel you use. Was it the 944 7"s that fit better? For what ever reason I put 16x7s from an SC on my E; they fit fine a stock height. My E is alot lower now the 15x6's are tight w/205s and some negative camber.


If you are in the area I have a pair of 16X7s that you can try/buy...

[kenikh]

Yeah, those are 944 wheels.

I am running original finish fuchs, 15x7s, 205/60 s, like the look, but there is just a hint of rubbing on really big dips at the right rear. When i had 195/65s on the 15x7s, there was no rubbing at all.

205/50/16 is another size that works well. At 24" tall it fits easier than the 205/55/16.

I've got a pair of 951 7x16 wheels that I'm willing to sell if anyone's interested.

On my narrow 73 I tried 7X16s and they were too close (read some rubbing) even with smaller tires. I went to 6X16s all the way around. Plenty of clerance and good tire selection in stock dia. I even tried 225/50s on the 6s and they cleared. The 7s only had enough room when we added a inch to the inside making them 8s. Then they still only had room for the 205/55s. The 6s don't look as cool but they work the best. With a lot of camber and stiff suspension the 7s will fit. Too close for the street set up. IMHO
