My New Fuchs!!!!!

Thought I'd give youse guys a peek at my new custom offset 16" x 8" and 9.5" Fuchs. I'm running 225/50's and 245/45's. More info soon.

Niiice! Shwinggg!

How do they do that? What do they use for outer rims? (Donors)?

[sammyg2]

Thanks alot, all the sudden is sux being anyone but you

[speeder]

Can you drive it yet? How's the foot? I feel for ya, you're my favorite redneck.

Hey Big D! No driving for 2 more weeks. Hope the doc replaces the cast with a boot then.

The wheels are made with donor Fuchs centers.

Those look awesome Mark! Who did the wheels for you?

Starting to make a Fuch look like a Fuch there Mark
Amazing how close the 9" IROC front wheels are to the 9.5" wheel on the rear of your car.

Do you have any detail shots?

Very nice indeed

Man look at those 245s they are stretchin- looks great!

This set is being used as test mules for fit so they haven't been refinished yet. The next set will be polished spokes with painted background.







This shows the 9.5 next to my stock 9. I'll refinish my next 8/9.5 set like these.

Hey, Are you sure your not drivng that SC a little bit

Lookin good, Mark

Hey Bob, only wish I could. I'm Jones-en for some flat 6.

[nostatic]

looks like you need at least 265s. So did they make those out of 6s?

Why get a wider wheel and not get wider tires?

[Ed Bighi]

Because wider tires in that size, other than the 255/50 which has too high a profile, are mostly available in slicks.

Steve,
Good question. The 225/50 is wider than the stock 225/55 or 205/50. I may be able to fit a 225/45 which will put even more rubber down. Both the 225/50 and /45 fit the 8" wheel perfectly.

The 9.5 rear wheel accomodates some of the wider 245/45's (S03 and Pilots @ over 9" treadwidth) and should effectively stiffen the sidewall of the tires. Additionally, Kumho offers several tires in 265/45 size that put almost 10" of tread down. We chose these wheel sizes to maximize the space available under the SC/Carrera flairs.

Wow. Who made the wheels?

[azasadny]

Mark,
Beautiful!!! Congratulations!!

[JonT]

Those are going to look fantastic when you get them polished and the tire sizes sorted out.

[Shuie]

Very cool. I cant wait to see if the 8" wheel fits under the rear of a non-flared car
