Fuchs wheel sizes ?? And tire sizes ?

Dear Friends

I wonder if these Fuchs wheel will fit my car
8x16 rear
7x16 front

The car is a 1977 911 with a REAR SC flare and stock FRONT flare

Also what sizes of tire should I use ?

Thanks

this has been covered a LOT -- yes, these will work with rear SC flares and stock fronts -- you may need to roll the front fender lips in to keep them from rubbing against your front tires, many do, but some don't. Tire sizes -- again lots of discussion -- use 205/55-16 up front and either 225/50-16 or 245/45-16 in the rear -- VERY few options in the 245/45-16 size. Best to stick with 16x8 instead of 16x9 for rears as the 16x9 can only be shod with the rare 245/45-16 size (225/50-16 are too narrow for the 9" width)
