I have a set of 6" x 16 " Fuchs and am looking for someone in the area that will let me test fit one 6" x 16" Fuchs with a 195/55/16 tire on it. I tried a 205 tire yesterday that I thought would fit and it was too wide. The tire was a Kuhmo Ecsta MX which is a wide 205. I was hoping to go with either Bridgestones RE-11 or Dunlops Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec. I was looking so forward to new tires and getting my speedometer back accurate I don't want to roll the fender lips so I thought I would try a 195 to see if it fit. Currently I am running a -1.8 degree camber on the back of my car. I was thinking of going to a -2.5 degree to see if that would help. It is so close I think the 195 will fit but I want to test before purchasing tires.

If you can't find anyone with a tire to use, you can always try a used tire store. We have a ton of them around here and most of them will sell you a good used tire and mount it for you for 20 bucks or so. If you call around you may even be able to find a place with the exact tire your thinking about buying.

There is a tire shop near my work that I will have them mount a tire on and check for clearance. The drivers side has some room but the passenger side is tight. To top things off my car is a '70 with the bigger fender lip that I do not want to roll. |
