Is this a 7" or 8" Fuchs?

What do you think. It's a 16" rim for sure. Looks like an 8" to me. What do you think???

Mike

Here's the front. The weird part is the owner says 205's are on the front and 245's are on the back. 205 is usually 6"... 225 is 7".... 245 is 8" IIRC. They do not look 2" different. So 6F and 7R or 7F and 8R. Hmmm...

can't judge wheel size by the tires. 205 or 225 can go on a 7. 8s can take 225 or 245. 9s normally would only have a 245.

the fronts are not 6s. they look like 7s from what I can see of the lugs. small chance they are 951 8s but that's a possibility for the fronts.

Your 8's look very different from my 8's. Your "9's" look more like my 8's.

Austin552's 8s appear to be the 951 offset.

for front fitment with 225s, and no clearance issues.

normal 911 offset 8s and 9s look identical from the outside. All the difference is on the inside of the wheel

well not exactly identical from the outside. The lug holes on 9s are recessed so you can easily tell them apart from the outside.

Those look like 7s and 8s to me (maybe 9s, difficult to see)
