3 PIECE fUCHS WHEELS

Does anyone know of a service that can build wheels from Fuchs centers. Bob Woodman tire used to do that but don't think he does any longer. Thanks, Bob

I'd buy a set of Fikse 17s w/ custom widths and ETs, much better tires choices in 17s or 15s compered to 16s

Running a 78 911, and I guess you could put 17s on it. Don't think that size is allowed in the vintage events in which I run though. 15s won't clear my brakes. Think I am stuck with 16s.

So for something like Hoosiers 225/50 and 245/45 you want 8 and 9
stock 9ET15 will be fine for the back of an SC.

the 8s are the issue as the stock Fuchs only come ET23.3 or ET10.6 and for an 8 front you want ET27

I always wondered if maybe 3.7mm could be machined off the back of the ET23.3 , You might not even have to go that far, I use 8ET25 w/ some surgery on the fender lips.
