16 X 7" Fuchs
 

Hi Guys,

Will 16 X 7" Fuchs be too skinny on a Wide Body 911? Will I want wider wheels in the back? I can get a good deal on 4 16 X 7's... and I want a set of street tires on fuchs (the 16's and I'll run my 17's at the track).

edited the subject line...

They might be OK for the front..many Turbo's and Turbo-Look cars ran these in the front with 205's , although you can obviously go wider...

Too skinny for rears......

I am in the same situation. I don't think they will look right. I decied to go with new 964 cup wheels instead of the deep dish 16x9's. I like the deep dish wheels on the back but I got a great deal on 4 new cups with new tires. Too good to pass up. I really like the way they look on the car. I am glad I got them.

Unclebilly,

I have 215/45ZR17's up front and 215/40ZR17's in the rear. I also have spacers installed, 2 inch in the back and 1 inch up front. I'm thinking the 7's alone, without the spacers may not cut it...

the wider the better they look, I went from 7's to 9's on the rear of mine it transformed the look of the car...

Hmmm. Thanks for the replies.

I can get 4 16X 7s for $600, they are the american made replicas and are brand new except that 3 have been stripped for polishing.

I think maybe I'll pass and wait for a set that's right, I'd also prefer to get forged Fuchs to the cast knockoffs.

Hey Billy - are those the ones in the bargain finder? If so, I called the guy and he mentioned that they were in a minor fire, but didn't mention that they were replicas

You should be able to get 4 real 16x7s in nice shape for about the same money.

I think the 7s will just look wrong on a widebody car without large spacers.

Andrew,

I looked at them this morning. They're replicas and one looks like the paint was removed with heat... The other 2 are stripped and one is mint.
