fuchs 15x7 (offset)

[synthesis]

I have seen the 5-lug fuchs in 15x7 on several 914's. Which offset fits? I know there is a 23.3mm version and a 49mm version that is rare.

TIA

I have 15x7 cookies with 4 5/8ths offset that fit. With the 205 Kuhmos I had to roll the rear fenders so they didnt rub.

Although there is some variation in fender clearance from car to car, there is no 7x15 Porsche wheel that will fit under stock fenders with 205 series tires. Almost every car with these wheels has slightly rolled fenders. That being said, there are several aftermarket wheel makers who stock wheels with the proper offset for your car. -Mike

I'm running 16 x 6 Fuchs with 205's all around, haven't touched the fenders. Rears are pretty cozy, but a little camber helps. Just ran into a guy this weekend with 15 x 7 Revolution wheels under rolled, but otherwise stock fenders with 225's (VictoRacer's). I believe you can specify what offset you want, the wheels are in the $300 ea range. I spoke to the Revolution "rep" this afternoon, who kinda contradicted their sales literature by saying "you can't get a 7 inch wheel under stock914 fenders". Even if you can, you have to go by the overall width of the tire; a 225 for example is about 9" wide (varies slightly by brand).

Those 49 mm offset Fuch's you were referring to were for the 911R, and will set you back a kilobuck apiece IF you can find them.
