I have 6jx15 Fuchs on the front and 7jx15's Fuchs on the rear of my '74 with stock fenders, no flaring, spacers, adjustments ot fender-rolling. I've run 7's all the way around and that was OK too. I use P205/60/15 tires and don't have clearance issues. I tried to run 8jx15's on the rear and they were fine as long as nobody sat in the back seat! Since my kids like to sit in the back, I got rid of the 8's. Even with brand-new Bilstein shocks on the rear, the tires rubbed when I had 200lbs in the back seat...

Oh yeah, Jason Cullen and Car-eras are always selling nice wheels on the Pelican Parts 911 used parts forum!

Can't help with the wheels, but WOW that color! What is it? I love all the exotic colors Porsche used in the 70's and 80's.

p.s. I like the cookie cutters on your car.

Thanks a lot for the info Guy's !!
I like also the Cucky Cutters but I like to change it from time to time just to get another view of the Car .

The Color is Olive Green from Porsche original paint i got the car from the first owner with only 34000 miles on the watch.

I'd keep the wheels. They look great IMHO and different than all the other 911's running Fuchs. Spend the money on DE or a thousand other projects.

@ Tom
I wasn't planning to sell them I just like to put some Fuchs with some good rubber on it from time to time.

That"s a great looking car. IMO, the simpler the better with 911"s.
This is a good example of that.

If you buy wheels anything > 6" will be much harder to fit w/o body work,

I would look for 6x15 Fuchs if I were you.
