Please help identify these old Fuchs

Hi all,

So I've been researching Fuchs part numbers on the BBS for about an hour now and I think I have most of my questions answered. But there were a few things I couldn't find...

So long story short, when I bought my '71 911E it was a PCA track car, and so along with the street tire Fuchs, the PO gave me a second set of 6Jx15 Fuchs with Hoosier slicks mounted on them. I autocrossed the car a few years ago, but just did so on a set of street Bridgestones, and therefore the other set of Fuchs with Hoosiers ended up in storage.

But that set is actually in much better condition than the ones on the car now, so I'm thinking of taking the Hoosiers off (finally) and using the wheels for the street instead.

So, a few questions:

The part number looks like 901.361.010.06, but from what I've read it really should be 901.361.012.06. So I'm guessing I just read it wrong (bit hard to make out). Was there any such thing as a part number with 901.361.010.06?

I've read that the AS1.08 stamp refers to the offset. Does that mean that this is a 1.08" offset? I had thought that the offset was measured in mm, though, not inches. But if that's the case, what would the 1.08 mean?

The final set of numbers on the right side of the fox head are 26710e (I think). I thought that was supposed to be the date code, but if that means Feb '67, then what is the 10e?

And finally, these wheels should hold a set of 205/55 or 205/60 tires pretty nicely, right?


Thanks!!
