Fuchs Backspacing

Does anyone know the backspacing measurement for a 15X7 Fuchs wheel? I want to mount them on a '69 car, front and rear. Can this be done?

Maybe this will help, but if it doesn't then hit the link to the thread below. It probably will.

The backspacing for 5.5, 6, 7, and 8s (x15) are all 122mm, except for the 911R wheel listed in the chart above.

The wheels will fit but will most likely rub on the fender. Often remedied by rolling the fender. IMHO I wouldn't do it on your car.

A search will turn up threads on this... Paul (pwd72s) has a story.

Here's a tickler: Rolled fenders for 7x15
