Do Toyotas have the same bolt pattern! ???

If so maybe there is a new source for space saver spares?

I know someone who uses them as garden hose holders on the side of the shop. Dont have pictures of it though

I love this board. Always good for a laugh.

This is the only non-911 that a Fuchs wheel belongs! Brand new 8 and 9" from Germany. Don't ask me what I paid for them, it will make your eyes water.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...ys/bawling.gif

I would like to put a set of Fuch's on my Featherlite trailer. I need a 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern. Can you buy adapters or am I cornfused as usual? I want a set of 15" x 6" rims to dress my trailer up. Is this possible?

yes very possible ... try ebay

5x4.5" aka 5X114.3mm is a Ford, Toyota, Nissan etc. bolt pattern so if you can't find some replica Fuchs with this bolt pattern like the Toyota trucks shown above, you can get adapters to convert 5x130mm to 5x114.3 but I fear that adapters will push the wheels outside the fenders as they are usually ~20mm thick which would make for a near 0ET wheel when used with a Fuch wheel. You would need the opposite of this Honda 5x114.3 to Porsche 5x130 Trak+ Wheel Adapters 25mm -- ALLSPRINGS.COM Online Store

I like the GTI applications. And Most all VW applications.

Thanks Evan!

Back in the 80s, it was very popular to run Fuchs on Mini-Trucks and yes, there are some aftermarket Fuchs with that bolt pattern, I run adapters on mine..

Hey, my daughter loves the Porsche. She also loves unicorns. Course she's in pre-school.

We have a Fuch garden hose reel on the side of our house (with a black Goodyear-branded garden hose, no less), and a Cookie Cutter doing the same duty in the backyard.

Newstalgia Wheel, American Racing Wheels, Boyd Coddington Wheels, Billet Vintiques, Colorado Custom Wheels, Cragar Wheels, Bonspeed Wheels, Foose Wheels, Radir Wheels, TQ Chrome

Might be a fun site. Seems slow though. Cragars may be the closest look.

Oh baby that's nice!

Where'd ya learn to park? Without anyone being able to park on the other side of your car, I would elect to part closer to that side.... just sayin'

I wish I had a camera at the time. I spotted a set on a Karamn Ghia that was lowered, very low in fact, and had big disk brakes all round. The car was painted a metalic dark grey/charcoal and was one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.

I have a pair of these too...:D

Would love to see 'em on a new Beetle...anyone?

Currently have em on the back of my Toy pick up, pulled out of moth-balls to freshen up(gets better mileage than my Burb:D

Yes, those Man-Hole covers are made by Fuch (these are the actual 951 7&8s, not 928s), I'm gonna run them since they have good rubber:D:p

Ok, what this is suggesting takes the cake!!! Respectfully the other suggestions are very cool, but figuring out a way to really switch the lunar rover wheels to fuchs.... Priceless.

P.S. if I'm not mistaken, those lunar rover fenders look very VW bettlish. That means the lunar rover is 1/2 way there to being a Porsche......

They look best of all on a Karmann.

Well, other than on that moon drift car.

That old Toyota truck with Fuchs is tight, might have to put some on my little rig. Since it's beige instead of red, though, American 200Ses or torque thrusts might be better.
