I have 15" fuchs and have plans to get the '86 951 fuchs, been keeping my eyes open for a while for an affordable set. The 16x7's are easier to find and not as costly as the 16x8's from what I've been seeing, which has been as high as $800 EACH!! If the seller really knows their wheels, they are usually wanting big cash for them. But you can always get lucky and find someone selling a set that is unaware on just how strong and light these wheels are.

If you go with 225/50/16 on the 16x7's and 245/45/16 on the 16x8s, the difference in tire height is not enough to require any changes in the speedo. The size of the wheel makes no difference in final drive ratio, it's the tire size. There is only a fraction of an inch difference between stock 215/60/15's tire size and the size of these 16" tires. The size a tire changes from normal wear, from new to when the tires are about to go bald, is greater than the difference this wheel tire swapout makes.
