1980 911 SC- Rear Wheel Spacer Advice

[Swiftmotoring]

My SC has the stock 6 and 7 Fuchs which do not fill out the wheels properly.... I am in the market for a set of 7&8 x 16 Fuchs but in the meantime thought I might buy spacers for the rears, anyone have any experience with spacers on the rear with 7's on an SC? What do you recommend?
Thanks

Well, since you are going one inch wider......one inch each comes to mind.....

Bear in mind, spacers with studs need another full set of nuts to bolt the spacer to the hub. Spacers with out studs will likely require longer studs to have the safe amount of turns on the outside studs.....

I wouldn't use spacers but if you must
7" w/ ~33mm will move the outer face to where a 9ET15 930 wheel would be
~23.5mm will move the outer face to where a 911 8ET10.6 would be

Bill why do you say "no to spacers"?

I don't like spacers, I do like to use wheels w/ the correct width and o/s
