A few questions about D90 wheels on my '74 911 w/ SC/Carrera flares

The wheels are 16x6 and 7; they are D90 wheels as pictured:





I've always admired the look of these wheels and would like to put them on my '74 911, which has SC/Carrera flares. I figure I can fit the same width tires I now have with my 15x7s and 8s, with the 16x6 and 7s. I have SC brakes and rotors in front and stock '74 brakes in rear, so I believe brake clearance won't be a problem. My questions are:

1) What am I looking at as far as spacers go?

2) Is the weight neglible between the wheels I have now and these wheels.

3) Will there be a performance detriment because at all four corners, the wheels will be more narrow?

4) I'm open to points of asthetics. I think these wheels might look good on my car. But what do you guys think?

If anyone has a photo they could share of a non C2 911 with these wheels, please post it.

Thanks for the help.

Hmmm...not bad...



I really wish someone could Photoshop a set onto an older 911 image.

Thanks for the feedback.

Here's 914efi's Carrera - I hope he doesn't mind as I have no side shots of my car available:



Can anyone Photoshop D90 wheels onto it?

Thanks.

Screw it! I just looked at Porsche Doc's restored '74 Carrera - and just now saw my car after being without it all day.

I like my Fuchs!

Thanks for the help, SoCal.
