Maxilite Fuchs quality?
 
Has anyone ever used the brand maxilite Fuchs wheels?

Cory M 11-30-2018 07:38 AM

I have some and they are nice. Obviously not as strong and light as real Fuchs since they are cast and not forged, but decent wheels. The finish is good on them and they have a lot of sizes. I think the finish is nicer than the Rota and Euromeister replica wheels I've had.

Thanks for the response. What size are you running Cory?

madcorgi 11-30-2018 08:50 AM

I like mine a lot. I have 6&7 x 16s on my car. Well finished.

Has anyone run 9s in the rear on a sc?

Yes, many many many people have run 9s in the rear without any modifications.

The wheel offset has to be correct and the original Fuchs 16x9 has an offset of +15mm (slightly more than 9/16"). The Maxilite 15x9 and 16x9 both have the correct offset of +15mm

As Keven pointed out 9ET15 2/ 245 tire is a great fit for an SC/Carrera. It's shy of a max rear fitment w/ ~.25" clearance at the lip, more if extra camber is also used.

The Maxlite wheels I have are 15x7's.

TUV approved. Better than most, if not all the other fake Fuchs manufacturers. I have a set of 9's and 11's I am planning to run on my widebody build.

I think 8s are a better choice than 9s in the rear only because of limited 245 tire availability. 8s can run 225s and 245s comfortably. 9s can only run 245s. So if 245s are ever unobtainium, you can always go back to 225s

I agree with Shaun as 245 is hard to come by. That being said my 78 SC is used sparingly and I like the look of the 9's and I'm hoping tire manufacturers will still make the 245 albeit maybe expensive. I have an extra set of 2017 RE-11s and Trofeos so good for 2-3 years.

Marisol that pic your running 9s in the back?

MARISOL78sc 11-30-2018 05:05 PM

Yes sir! re-11 245/45/16

MARISOL78sc 11-30-2018 05:06 PM

lowered to a smidge under euro height

Shaun @ Tru6 11-30-2018 05:09 PM

Your car looks great Paul! Perfect stance.

Flat sixx 11-30-2018 05:16 PM

Does anyone know if 245/50/16s will fit in the rear? Just did a quick search for 225 and 245 with 45 and there’s not really much tire options. There’s a lot more with 50

Thanks Shaun!

Flat sixx 11-30-2018 05:50 PM

Second that your looks great love the stance Paul!

clutch-monkey 11-30-2018 06:10 PM

They are strong enough for track work, only thing I don’t like is the machined face on the lips (similar to the euromeisters). Might get mine polished or painted

MARISOL78sc 11-30-2018 06:17 PM

Flat sixx, Thanks for the love!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1543634217.jpg
