Fuchs are fine if you want 6 or 7 front, but the 8x16 ET23.3 Fuchs has an ET that is too small to fit the front comfortably w/o a lot of compromise
to fit an 8 in front you need ET25 to 30 w/ ET 27 as arguably the best compromise,
On mine I have 8ET25 w/ the 225/50 x17 tire with a wide squarish shoulder, i.e most difficult fit. I can run at b of ~114mm, a compromise is that I have shaved the inner fender ledge to almost nothing
in back Fuchs 7 ET23.3, 8 ET10.6, or 9 ET15 fits any SC/Carrera fender well / up to a 255 tire w/ no compromises
9.5 ET19 centers the tire perfectly in the well no compromises w/ a 255 tire but w/ a 275 the trailing arm bolts and oil lines need to be modified.
in the back of a n/b 7 ET23.3 fits as long as the tire isn't too tall, a 215/60x 15 is too tall, a 205/60 x15 is not, to fit an 8 the ET needs to go up, similar to what is needed in front, here 8ET23.3 can be squeezed in w/ a 225 tire but compromises need to be made, an 8 ET28-32 allows a 225 to fit comfortable as long as it's not too tall
