15 x 6 Fuchs Question
I currently have a set of five Fuchs posted in the classified section; this is not an extension of that ad but rather an attempt to clarify the wheel dimensions. The PNs and date codes are as follows:
Quantity of Four, PN 901 361 012 04 date coded 2/68 (2), 69 (1) and 10/70 (1) Quantity of One, PN 911 361 0210 date coded 4/74 They are all stamped 6JX15. I have conflicting reports on whether these are 5.5" or 6" wheels. Any help would be much appreciated. |
Any thoughts on this information? Service manual states something to the effect of 5.5 wheels being stamped 51/2JX15. Any help at all is welcome.

Are you sure on the '69 and '70 part #'s?
I believe they should be 901 361 012 06, and yes those '68 wheels "should" be 5.5. Not sure of the 6J stamp being correct for 68 or not, seems odd. |

Crap...can't the image to import...click on the link... |
You definitely have the part number for a 5 1/2. 901 361 012 04 should say 5 1/2J X 15. If they were part of a later run maybe fuchs didn't bother to change the number...

I suspect you have 3 different wheels.
PN 901.361.012.04 is a 5.5x15 for model year '68 PN 901.361.012.06 is a 6x15 'deep' fuch I think you'll find your dates of '69 & '70 will have the .06 # The '74 is probably 911.361.020.10 This is a later 6x15 'flat' fuch |
If I'm seeing the picture above correctly the PN ends with .04 which is correct for a 5.5
(nevermind...the post now has the correct .04 instead of .06) .01 is a 4.5 for '67 .04 is a 5.5 for '68 .06 is a 6 fitted starting in '69 .05... just send it to me! |
They are all stamped with 6JX15. Someone said there could be a misstamping on the 04, but never mentioned a mistake regarding the 6JX15. Anything is possible; the wheels do measure over 6" on the outside bead . . . I appreciate all of the input.

Did a closer look reveal an ".06" not the posted .04 at the end of the part # for the wheels date stamped 11/69 & 10/70?
Clean it off and take a good close look at it. |
No, it's definitely 04. Check out the pics:

Well...I'm just looking at a pic and of course it's the least visible...;)
but it sure looks like the last number in the last picture is a 6. It appears rounded on the top and bottom with a curved line through the middle.SmileWavy |
You were correct in your identifications; I was mistaken in my quest. Turns out that there were three 5 1/2 deep dishes and two 6", one flat and one deep. Whoever had this car before me was driving around with three 51/2 wheels and one six! To each his own.
