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)

Jim, I'm running 16 X 6 on the fronts, 16 X 7 on a narrow body without pulling the fenders...rolled the inner lip on one side.
Curious, why are you wanting to change wheels? The ones you have look real nice. |

Curious, why are you wanting to change wheels? The ones you have look real nice. I'm changing the appearance. Had a second top painted black and going to fit 16" wheels with black painted paddles to complete the change. |
