The bigger rims are a new version of the old design for 964 and following cars. In 2019 Fuchs then introduced the "Fuchsfelge Evolution" for earlier F-/G-Body (Longnose and impact bumper) cars as well. This is the old Fuchs design produced with new technologies to save more weight.
Because of a new manufacturing process - the smallest tire you can drive at the front axle is now a 225 on a 7J 16" on a G body car ... (The only street legal way in Germany for those new Fuchs Evolution rims, because the load breaking tests were done with that tire dimensions only! I do not know if street regulations apply on this in other countries...)

Thomas -- agree, the 16" and 15" fuchsfelge wheels are a GREAT option for G body owners looking to upgrade their Fuchs. However, since the OP is already running 16x7 front and 16x9 rear Fuchs and was looking for other options (e.g. 17" wheels), I was pointing out that 17" fuchsfelge wheels would not have the proper offset for G body 911s --
