If you are running larger wheels and tires under your stock fenders or have installed flares could you please post a picture of your car? Also please include the following info to describe what we are looking at -

Wheel size and offset? If other than Fuchs list Manufacturer.
Tire size?
Any spacers?
Steel or FG flares?
Fender lip rolled?

Thanks!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disregard this-

Changed prior thread titled "Fuchs Fitment"
Could someone please explain to me the whole Fuchs fitment process.
Looking to put 8x16's on my car with steel flares.

What offset should I be looking for?
Whats an 8J ?
Whats a deep 6?
Whats a heart?
Difference between 911, 944, 951 ??? Whats the deeper lugnuts do for offset?

Thanks!

On mine, I'm running 18'' twists on both front and rear.

Oddly, all four wheels started out as 18x10's with a 40mm offset. i sent them off for refinishing, and had 2 of the wheels narrowed 2'', and those two are used for the fronts.

The fronts are mounted on 1979 930 hubs with the factory 1''spacer.
The rears are mounted on the 914/6 hubs with a bolt on 2'' spacer.
Everything fits good, with no rub front or rear.
