Currently have factory Fuchs 6x16 and 7x16 on my 1986 Carrera. My understanding is they have an offset of 46. My question is: will 7x17 and 9x17 993 rims fit my Carrera? With an offset of 55 I'm not clear if they will fit or rub the fender.
Any information is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Fuchs 6x16 are ET36
Fuchs 7x16 are ET23.3
for 7 you want ~ET25-28
for 9 you want ~ET12-15
there is some wiggle room the lower the ET the more outboard the wheel sits
to use 993ET55 7s you use a spacer, 28mm spacer makes the 7ET55, 7ET27, again there a little wiggle room a 30mm spacer makes it 7ET25 which sits a tad more outboard
to use 993 9ET55 you use a spacer, 40mm spacer makes it 9ET15, 43mm makes it 9ET12
if you use 225/45 and 255/40 tires any of the above will fit fine, w/ wider tires or wider wheels you will want to be a little more exacting as the wiggle room goes away quickly w/ width and height
