Stock Wheels & 205/50-15 Tires

[GLASEM]

Been trying to purchase four 15 x 6 Pansports or Minlites for quite sometime with no success for my 1971 2.0 race car

Currently run Toyo Proxes.......205/50-15s on the above wheels

Are there any issues with using the stock Fuchs wheels with this size tire?

If not........looking for someone with a nice set of four to purchase

Probably minimal issues. It's a common size to run on stock 914 wheels. Most cars will require one or both of the rear fender lips to be cut or flattened up. Many will require a little bit of pulling on one rear fender or the other. A few 914s won't fit those without significant pulling, but those seem to be the exception.

Putting the tires on 6es doesn't make them fit better, BTW.

You will experience rubbing on the inner front fender when the steering wheel is at full lock. Lots of 914s have rub marks aft of the shock tower on the inner fenders up front. I don't think it's an issue, because you generally only turn the wheel full lock when the car is going slowly. And it's also something that doesn't happen every day.
