[plumber]

I would like to know what size fuchs were original on an 89 930 turbo.
I would appreciate any tire recommendation as well.
Thanks

8s and 9s I believe, tire wise bridgestone re11s are available in the correct sizes.

7's and 9's I thought?

[Tt surgeon]

Yes, I think you're right, 7/9

[plumber]

were they 16" rim size correct?
The car I was looking at had 17's but not fuch rims
If someone has original Fuch rims I would be interested,
I'm in Toronto, something local would be better but open to options.
Thanks

^^^ Yes, 7X16 front and 9X16 rear for 1989.

Have you checked on availability of the 245/45 for the rear....?

I just got a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE11 a couple of weeks ago.
They are the correct sizes, 205/55R16 & 245/45R16 on stock 16x7 & 16x9 rims.

I had a hard time finding any tires when using online stores, what I found was no availability when searching by vehicle model ('87 930). It would appear that the speed rating limits the search results. I have no problem using tires that are only "V" rated, since it is very unlikely I will ever go 149mph.

I called a local tire distributor and the had no problem getting me the tires within a week, even though their online system showed no availability.

That's good to know. I hope someone continues to support that size for a while. I don't need tires yet but almost feel I should grab some while I still can.
