16"X6" 5 lug FUCH question

Will a 16"x 6" 5 lug FUCH fit under the fender of a stock 914-6? I do not know the backspacing on the original 16" x 6" wheel - sorry. Also does anyone know the tire size that most folks mount on those wheels. Best case would be 195/16" front and 205/16" rear?

yes. it fits. Plenty of room up front. Can be tighter, but should be fine in the rear. A 205 *should* fit, but each car is different. Camber and aligment settings and fender lip rollings also impact fitment.

Yes they fit. I need to look back at my notes as to my 16" wheels. I think I was running 215-16-55. But then, I was trying to get the same wheel heigth as stock, to make the speedo run right.

They fit perfectly on a 914-4, 195's but could have gone with 205's.
