Will 15x8s fit under 1970 911?

[924CarreraGTP]

I'm thinking about ordering some wheels from Design911. They have a 15x7, 8 set they can strip and polish for me. Will they fit under my car? With what tires? My car has 15x7s on it now with plenty of room. Will the front 15x7 fachs fit on the rear too?

Factory offset 8" fuchs won't fit under stock '70 guards...

oem 7x15 are ET23.3 they fit the front of all 911s from '69-89 fine w/ 205 to 225 tires, they can also be used in back of non SC/Carrera cars but you have to be careful wrt tire selection and ride height

This '73 has 7x15 w/ 205/50 x15 f/r(Joe please correct me if I'm off here)


oem 8x15 are ET10.6 and you will need SC/Carrera flares
this early 911 has 7 & 8 x15 205/50 &225/50

What is the offset of the rear wheel on that orange car that enables 225's to be installed?
