16" wheels on a 72 911

[manny1972]

Does anyone know if I can put 16" Fuchs 6x16 on a 1972 911 without doing any modifications to the body?

I think you can. I've seen this done before. 16x6s for sure. Make certain you get an appropriate tire so you won't screw up your gear ratios.

no problems.

[manny1972]

Thanks, I think I'll try it.

I used 16 x 6 with 205/55/16 with no rubbing or any other problems.

Voila


16's 6's and 7's with 205 tires all round- sorry don't know sidewall but am sure it is standard tire for 80's Porsches.
I would like to try 215's for rear as feel could squeeze some more rubber in there.
But I may yet get some 'R' flares- saw them at RRII and they were much better than Carrera flares in my opinion
hope this helps

great looking car. Thanks I was looking for 15" but I'm going to go with the 16"

[ohenryinatlanta]

the problem with 15" is that decent performance tires are getting hard to find in good sizes.

i wanted to do 15" on my rs replica but went with 16x7's and 9's for that reason.

actually alot of the "new" performance rubber is 17" and up only. i may be forced to plus up again.

they fit.

16x6 all around on my ex. 7's would not fit on the rear.

Some great looking cars, now I need to locate some 16x6 Fuchs
