15x8 Fuchs front and rear on a SC?
 

Does anyone run 15x8 Fuchs on the front and rear of their SC-flared car? If so, how is the fitment in the front and what size tires do you run?

Pics?

Thanks,

I think you're going to have difficulties in the front. The offset will place the wheel too far outside of the wheelwell. I have 16x8 wheels on the front of my '76, but they have a custom offset to make it work.

I've studies the Fuchs offset chart and I know that 15x8 and 16x8 911 Fuchs have the same offset and backspacing. 16x8 911 Fuchs don't seem to work.

I'm just thinking someone has tried with 15x8 Fuchs running a shorter diameter tire (like 225/50/15 instead of 225/50/16).

I think the problem will be contact with the inner fender wall on full, or almost full-lock, turns.

iroc, pictures please...... 16x8 in the front?

Sure:

I really need to get some better pics here at work, but these 8x16s with 245/45s in the front and 9x17s with 275/40s in the rear...

wow! looks great!

Over in the autox forum rdane mentions a local hot shoe running 15x8's all around. Check it out near the bottom of the thread:

Perhaps rdane will chime in with some additional info.

I thought 951 Fuchs 16x8s work on the SC in the front?

They do. 15x8 wheels have different offset than 951 16x8's.
