    Which kind of Fuchs wheel?

    Hello,

    I got my car (F model) with the Fuchs wheels shown in the picture attached. Tyre size is Michelin 195/65 x15. Can anybody assist me to identifying the type of the rim?
    Thank you

    Thomas

    that looks like a deep 6 and not the flat 6 for 72-73.

    I have a set of deep sixes and those look like maybe 5.5's. They're definitely not the flat 6's used from 72 onwards.they are of the earlier variety

    From the position of your torsion bar cover and the rear bumper, I don't think that is a "F" model. Looks like a SWB to me....and I agree with Gearby it looks like a 5.5X15 from this angle.

    Unless Porsche did something else I'm not aware of, they couldn't be those wheels since those would have been 14" rims. According to the tire size, these are 15" diameter.
