AFAIK thy did not. Sizes starting at 7" should be 7", 8" 9" & 11". There are a lot of wheels that have been cut and welded over the years to make other sizes or turn a narrow wheel into a wider 8, 9 or 11 but no 8.5".

All Fuchs alloys should be clearly marked on the backside to width. They should read 7j, 8j 9j or 11j. If they read any of these numbers and are a different size odds are they were cut and welded.

Hope this helps.
