Dumb question of the night

I'm tired and confused, but I'll ask anyway.........

What size Fuchs do I have if I have the following tire sizes:

P205/55ZP16 (front)
P225/50ZR16 (rear)

They're Dunlop SP Sport 8000's

Could be 7&8X16 but I would put money on 6&7X16 since that's probably what it came from the factoy w/.

If you need to be certain (and you should if you're tire shopping) any good tire store should have a wheel caliper, it will only take a moment for them to determine the wheel width.

On an SC, most likely 6's and 7's, assuming stock sizes were retained, although the factory also used 225/50's on the 8" rear Fuchs that came standard on '89 cars only.

Can you post a picture? Would be easy to tell at a glance what Fuchs widths are.

The rears are definitely wider than the one's that come standard, so I guess they're likely 7's and 8's.........The 9's were used on the Turbo's, right?

8's were also used on the turbo.
Have a look on the owners gallery to be sure for the fronts.
The 6's do not have the sme deep dished look of the 7's- they are quite diferent.

Michael, if this is your car, the backs are probably 8's or 9's and probably 7's for the front.

Didn't the SC come with 15" as standard?

16s were a common option, but 15s were standard.
