8X16 Fuchs in front
 
Is this possible?
I'm buying a set of 7 and 9 Fuchs wheels and I want to switch with the 7 and 8 I have now.
Can I put 8s up front? (regular carrera flares)
I don't want to use a lot of neg camber. It is not a track car.

thanks guys,

I think the only Fuchs 8s that will work are the special offset 951 8" Fuchs. Regular 8s won't work.

You have the 8s now? Heck, bolt 'em on and see what happens.

I have 8's and 9's - the 8's in the front are 951 version part number (951.362.117.00)

No question about it, Use the 7 & 9 for a street car

the 944/951 8" Fuchs Jeremy mentioned can be used, but it's not a comfortable fit, especially w/ street alignmenst, the o/s is just a tad low @ ET23.3(same as the 7s)

To use an 8 on the front you will want ET25 - ET31

7 and 9 it is then.

Thanks guys
