Widebody & Spacers & Fuchs & Confusion!
I've read and read and searched and my due diligence has only rendered me even more clueless...
My factory widebody '84 needs spacers. My car has 7" Fuchs 205/55/16 up front and 8" Fuchs 225/50/16 in the back (911 8" wheels, not 951 8"). Yes there are the stock spacers installed but the wheels in no way fill out the fender flares. Can someone recommend or advise me on spacer sizes to fill out the fenders? I'm totally confused with all the research I've done! |

225 on front and 245s on the rear are the norm.....fill with wider spacers. The mentioned tire sizes are the max for the rim width.

Are there any spacers on there now?
My '84 930 came with what I think are 30mm in the rear and maybe 15mm in the front. I added an additional 20mm front and rear with stock 7/8" Fuchs and it looks just right. I'm running the sizes Joe Bob mentioned in a Toyo T1R. ![]()

Widebody & Spacers & Fuchs & Confusion!
Your car looks fantastic. And thanks for the helpful info.
I've got the stock spacers on which I'm sure are probably the same as yours on my car. Hopefully this late afternoon I can remove the stock spacers and slap on 32mm front and 45mm rear H&R units. These ones are approx. what you've got so im hoping they'll work out nicely. Here's a "before" pic. It doesn't really show too well how much the wheels are way tucked in too far, but it's the only one I got on my phone at the movement. ![]() |
