wheel survey

[TimB]

What wheel are you running on your SC or pre-90 Carrera? Any spacers, rolling fenders, etc. required?

[motion]

'84 Cab - 7" & 8" Fuchs, painted and polished by Al Reed. No rolled fenders.

'74 Widebody - 7.5" & 9" Mille Miglia Cup replicas with 2" rear and (soon) 1 1/2" front aluminum spacers. No rolled fenders.

16X6 16X7 Fuchs.

Would like to put the 7s up front and put 8s in the back, but it's a $ issue right now. Plus, I just replace 4 tires!

Lowered a little below euro height.

16 x 6 Fuchs on 205 x 16 x 50 AVS Intermediates, front;

16 x 7 Fuchs with inch spacer on 225 x 16 x 45 AVS Intermediates, rear;

No rubbing. I don't want to go to 7" front and 8" rear because I don't want to slow the car down with extra drag and the traction is sufficient for street purposes.

Looking for 17" to install larger brakes.

993 wheels, 16x7 and 9s....225 and 245 tires...1 inch spacers up front 2 in the rear...

Only rubs up front on full lock and a bump.

[Bill Verburg]

I have used the following on my 76 Carrera 3;

• 7 & 8 x 15 Fuchs with 205/50 & 225/50
• 7 & 8 x 16 Fuchs with 205/55 & 225/50
• 8 & 9 x 16 Fuchs with 225/50 & 245/45
• 8 & 9.5 x 17 Kinesis with 235/45 & 275/40

Car has always been at low European height, all the lips have been increasingly massaged/cut over the years.

'78 SC Widebody.
Fender lips cut off rear.

Front:
Fuch 9x15
255/45 Yoko AVS Intermediates

Rear:
Fuch 12x15
345/35 Yoko AVS Intermediates

Yes, there is a weight/drag penalty and no, I don't care. There just might be a slight traction advantage. HA!

[emcon5]

7" and 8 X 16 pimpin' gold BBS with 225/50 fwd and 245/45 aft. Minor fender rolling on the drivers side, and a slight modification to the oil cooler rock guard on the passenger side. No rubbing yet, but haven't bottomed out at full lock yet.

Miami Vice all the way baby.

Front: Stock 6x16 with stock 205 R55. 3/8" spacers won't fit, perhaps 1/4" would

Rear: Stock 7x16 with stock 225 R50. 21mm spcers fit great and look nice - had to roll the left fender.

If you can afford it, wider wheels on back are better than using spacers. I would like to use 7x17 on front with the 205s or 215s(they'd fit the tires better) and 8 or 9 x16 on back with perhaps 245s. If y0u can afford it, fill the wheel wells with wheel and tire, not spacers.
