I bought a set of 6x16 fuchs off of Pelican and they arrived today. They look in amazing condition (besides the centers don't match). With a little work and a lot of elbow grease they will look great.

I have 15" fuchs on the car but need new tires. The tires available for 15x6's are limited. The 16" open up a lot more choices. Thinking of Bridgestone RE11A's 205x55x16. The speedometer should be close.

I'd be interested in the 15 x 6 set if you sell them.

Real #911... part numbers cast in the back of the wheels, I put out a WTB the end of last week and had about 4 replies. To clarify I bought them off the forum NOT from Pelican

I am in the same boat.. needing tires and my car has 15x6 fuchs.. where a few are bent. My preference is to keep the 15's right now..


So looking for tires and trying to understand options.

I could replace 15's that are bad (if i can find some at reasonable cost)

OR find 16's. What size 16's width and tire combo fit without body modifications?

Is there a good thread someplace for wheel / tire / spacer size options?

my 'new' wheels are 6x16's and I am planning on 205-55-16's should fit under the fenders. My current setup is 15x6's w/ 205-60-15 and they fit
