EMPI Fuchs repros

Will the EMPI Fuchs fit on the '87-'89 cars? They come in 15x5.5/4.5 and 17x7.

The 17" wheels will stick out about 12.3mm more than stock 15x7 wheels. It should work...

Could rub in the front. And possibly rear. IDK though.

Make sure you can use the stock lug nuts with them (seat type and wheel's hub thickness).

The original company (Fuchsfelge) makes this wheel in 17" and late offset. As do numerous other companies. See here: Let's catalogue all the Fuchs repros! - Rennlist Discussion Forums

Take care,

Looked at the others suggested but they are way too pricey. The Empi VW ones are the best option for me other than the 996 Carrera 4 wheels 996.362.128.01.
