15" Fuchs on the 6?
 
I have 16" Fuchs on my 914-6, which were on the car when I bought it. I would like to know what were the size of the 15" Fuchs offered in '70?

916-6 originally came with 14x5.5" Fuchs

Yes, the original Fuchs alloy wheels were 14"x5.5". The Mahle gasburner wheels were 15"x5.5". The factory parts book also lists a 15"x5.5" Fuchs wheel, but I think there is a decent possibility that those were sold as replacement parts and were not necessarily offered on the 914-6.

Note that the dealers would put pretty much any wheel you asked for (that they could get) on the car; wheels were a pretty good profit center for them.

I believe that the 911 did run 6" wide wheels in the 1970 model year, so those would have been available if a customer had asked for them. Heck, even the 15x7 "911R" wheel was available and could be made to fit with a little persuasion of the rear fenders.
