There are 2 different 8x16 Fuchs the above 911 rear version w/ a 911 part # and
8ET23.3 that was used on early 944s, these have a 951 part # and while they have been fitted to the front of 911s it is not a happy marriage


If you want 911 front 8s you need ET25 to 30, w/ the happiest fit being ET27, to facilitate the front fit a shorter tire is preferred, 225/45 is a better fit than 225/50 because it is shorter, the closer to 8ET27 the more leeway you will have
Just so I'm clear, the OE 8x16 ET 23 AND ET 10.6 fit on the front of an SC/Carrera?
