    5,5" & 6" Fuchs

    When early 911 did start to have 5,5" and when 6"? Is it different between models? T, E S? or just an option in the same years.

    5.5" was '68 only. '69 was 6". No difference in T-E-S.

    To put a finer point on it, '67 and prior used 4.5" wheels.
    911R's had 7" rears. I don't remember when lwb 7"s
    came about.
