do 16x9 fuchs fit on sc/carrera cars very easily?
on the rear of course. I don't want to run all kinds of negative camber or roll the fender lips on the fresh paint and body.
I just flared my 74 and the 15x7's that I have been running at all four corners look a little thin.

Yeah... they will fit. Even if you slam it! Okay... I know some folks think it is too low but I like it just fine.

Are you parked there, or just stuck on the curb?
 (Looks good by the way!)

Quite an amusing statement 89911. As for the fronts they are the standard and simple 225/50's on 16 rims.

16 x 7's or 16 x 8's? Sweet looking - I love cabs with big tires - hope to have mine that way shortly!

Ooooops... sorry. 16x7's front and 9's rear. On the fronts I had to roll the fenders. Yes, even with the 7's. On the rears the fenders are stock.

Very nice - I like your ride height too. Any trouble navigating SFO streets?

Hey Calspeed,
Don't listen to them. The 9's will never fit. Send them to me. I'll make a nice clock out of them...or something.

Mike(Calspeed), Looks nasty! I like it. I am going to be running 245s/205s on my SC, (stock 930 sizes), the 205s on 7s in the front fit just like 205s on 6s, as far as fender issues go.

Hello...
Speeder: Thanks for the comments. I got a few more things I want to do to it. Unfortunately I dont think the airdam in the front will work. I would hate to tear that apart on the high curbs out here. Jeremy: So far it handles The City well. Not much of an issue when I take the driveways at an angle. Otherwise, no rubbing on hard turns. Perfect so far. I cant wait to try it at Sears Point and the other NorCal road courses. and Moses... thanks for the offer. Wall clocks sound cool but I just picked one up on eBay. Calspeed
