RS flares and wheels combination question
 

To start - yes, I did a search. While I saw some pictures, I'm not sure I saw commentary that I was looking for.

I recently purchased some RS flares for my 84 Targa (thanks Don). Since I am going to do paint/bodywork in the spring, it's a good time to be adding flares.

My question is - what should I do about wheels? Right now, I'm running the stock 15 Fuchs, which I think are 7's or 8's (I'm not sure, as I am far from home right now, and can't run out to the garage and check). I'd like to stay with fuchs - as I like the look. Do I go to 16x9's? Do I just get spacers for what I have?

Opinions and pictures wanted.

Thanks,

Ken

On your 84 you should have 16's. For a stock look 6 and 7 are stock.

RS flares are the same width as what you have now, why switch?

16x9s will fit nicely under your flares. You might want to consider going to 17 inch wheels, though. The tire selection to properly fit 9 inch wheels is getting slim.
The 17 inch versions offer much more selection.

+1 to what Todd stated.

Good question. Let me check.

Thanks,

Ken

?!?
 

You bought RS flares for a 84 Carrera?

Hey - c'mon - we all make mistakes.

Don't sweat it, brother.

Put 'em up for sale on the Pelican classifieds and use the $$$ to buy new wheels.


Problem solved.

Nah - seller hasn't shipped them yet, and he's a pelican. I'm pretty sure that all this will cost me are some electrons, and some knowledge.

Just more money to put towards he the ducktail I'm buying.

Thanks guys.
