Relatively easy to address/resolve by bending in (or shaving off) the front fender lips. Doubt you'd have any issue with 7mm spacers, but 14mm up front might be a bit tight and 21mm up front would likely cause rubbing/etc.
I would agree....only reason why 21 mm works for me is that the Fuchsfelge wheels are intended for later cars and so are offset outwards more than the Fuchs originally intended for those vintages of 911.

Francesco -- with the spacers, you're pushing your 6" wheels 21mm (nearly an inch) closer to the fender. I haven't done the math offset-wise, etc. to compare how much farther out a 7" Fuchs sits vs a 6" (I believe the inner lip of a 7" Fuchs sits further in than that of a 6" Fuchs), just wanted you to be aware of that potential issue.

I'm gonna stick to 23mm rear and 14mm front. seems good enough. I'll take pics during the weekend

I have 23mm adapters on my rear 7" Fuchs and that looks good. They come from FVD, are TüV approved and are the double bolt system. I kept the original studs. I check their tightening once a year but they are securely attached and I trust they won't break or loosen. Car is only used for street driving.
