Do you want a 951 style 8x16 Fuchs or a 911 style 8x16 Fuchs wheel?
Bob B Burton
The 8 x 16 Inch 911 part number cost a lot more

The 851 wheel is offset an inch to the inside. It’s from a 944 turbo but let’s you run a 8x16 on the front of a 911.

Ok , and if I want to run 951 8 x 16 in the rear of a 911 , I need to use spacers right ?

I’m not sure. Sorry.

The 944 turbo wheel has the correct offset to fit the rear of a flared 914 with no issues.

The look from the outside looks like the 7 inch x 16 inch
Let me see what I have in old pictures. I have been over this a few times over the last 10 years. Also the price for 8 inch x 16 911 wheel in real Fuchs is very high. Way more than a 8 x 15
If you are not running huge brakes it is much less money to put on the 15 in 7 and 8 Fuchs. Bottom Right 8x16 only factory Fuchs

Pictures of my wheels on my 6 #41
7 and 8 x 16 inch 911 part numbers with Rs finish done by fuchsrestoration.com
they have finished several sets for me in the past. You will find that 911 part number 8x16inches will cost you a lot of money.
