The 8" wheels won't fit on the rear, without rubbing, unless you install SC flairs.

The "best" for your car is a matter of opinion. I imagine there will be many here sharing their preference.

Another consideration is the finish. Do you want black or polished pedals?

I personally think the 6 x 15s with polished pedals look the best on mid year cars.

Thumbs up

Thank you Gordon,
I will buy a 16 x 7 for front and rear.
I will put a 205/45/16 front and and 225/45/16 rear.
I think it's a better choice

7x16 Et23.3 Fuchs are fine for the front or rear, if you really want 8's in back the 8x16ET23.3 Fuchs that were fitted to 944s and have 944 part #s can be squeezed in there

Here's are a couple of pics of ischmitz's n/b w/ the 8x16 Et23.3 944 Fuchs w/225/50 x16 tires, 245/45 would be easier to fit and have a lower inertial cost than the 225/50s
