Newbie--What's ideal Fuchs size for my car ?

Hi Decided to purchase this 1989 Carrera 3.2, full stock except for the wheels...not sure if I prefer Fuchs or what's on it now...
your thoughts, I reckon they look better with Fuchs, but which?
(I am not interested in the replicas)

What options do I have deep dich etc size, tire set up is ideal, don't intend driving the car on a track.

Appreciate any scans and feedback..

Cheers all

16x7 & 8, unless you can afford 9's.

I agree.

16X7 front and 16X9 rear (very rare) or 16X8 rear. I've got 7's up front and 8's in back and love the look.

Very nice color, Richard! Kind of reminiscent of the Weissach 911SC's.

I concur with the 16" Fuchs crowd...7's and 9's would be ideal, but an 8 on the rear looks nearly as good. Body color centers would look nice with your color combo, but that is a matter of personal taste.
