Came across a 7 x 16 944 Turbo Fuchs today and tried a test fit---unfortunately, the rim lacked a tire, so when I did a test fit, it was hard to tell. The 944 turbo wheel has a much greater backspace that a 911 Fuchs.
I know some run these on narrow body cars, please chime in. I have an option on 3 more of these. See pics: Attached image(s)

QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Dec 11 2009, 01:21 AM)  17x7 repos with big backspacing http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=888888 http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?Pr...de=C32%2DFU172P Interesting: The backspace on those 7" wheels is 5.5" and--if I measured correctly--my Fuchs 7" has a backspace of 4.75". Does that sound right. I assume the 5.5" backspace wheels will fit a narrow body 914 ? In the meantime, I picked up two excellent 6 x 16 Fuchs, and probably look for two more--got any ? Currently, the 7" 951 wheel is listed in the classified. Any suggestions will be appreciated, Jim |
