    Classic ATS 15x6 on SWB??

    Hi all,

    Anyone know if original classic ATS wheels in 15x6 would fit a SWB?

    I run 15X6 Group 4 alloy steel wheels with 185 Pirellis and have no issues.

    I wouldn't imagine the offset is much different.

    Can't help with the tech info but I do like ATS Classics on an early 911.

    Think they were standard on some 73’ Porsches. So, should be a good fit.

    Do you mean ATS Classics or ATS Cookie Cutters?

    I thought you meant Classics when I posted the picture above but here's a SWB with 6" Cookie Cutters:

    Not all "SWB"s are the same. Porsche extended the front hubs on 68s to better accommodate wider wheels. 68s came with 15 X 5 1/2 wheels instead of the earlier 15 X 4 1/2s. the ATS wheels will fit on all SWBS, kinda.......You should replace the original wheel studs with ones that are, at least 5 mm longer. Even longer would be better. Wheel studs through 1967 were 35mm and are just not long enough to get the stud to stick out past a lug nut, when using any alloy wheel. Also, 68s all ran a 7mm spacer on the rear hubs with much longer wheel studs.
