Id like to try to compare and see between 6 and 7s x 16 and 7 and 8s x 16.

Thanks!

Mark Wilson where are you?

OK, I thought Mark would show you his awesome red SC with 7 & 9's, but he didn't. So here is a link to some.

Hey Victor! May not buy Phone Dials... after all. A local has some 8 x 16 Fuchs for sale that would complement my 7 x 16s. Just wanted to see what they look like up front. Are yours 7s in front? Do you have a pic describing the clearance of the fender lip?

Thanks!

Good point - I just checked the placard and I have 8" in the rear and 6" up front. A buddy of mine put his rear 7" on the front when he upgraded to 8" on the rear with no issues (once the clip that holds up the A/C hose on the drivers side was modified).

Sounds like you're close to making a decision!(?)

How about this one.

YMMV

Thanks Matt. My car had 7/8's till I found the 9's. Here is a shot with the 7/8's.

Thanks again for the pics and info, obviously I bought the car and it is being shipped as we speak. You are most definately an outstanding guy.

Victor, are your kidding me???? No decision yet, just that the deal is good, and if i dont like them on my SC, theyll do wonders on my 914/6 conversion.

What size are your rubbers on the 8s? My 7s are 225/50/16. Thanks!

Do you have spacers on your car? The wheels look so "beefy". Looks very good. It's lowered also isn't it?

I agree with Brian K who said 7 and 8's are must haves. What was Porsche thinking putting on 6's and 7's
