I picked up a set of 951 Fuchs today, 7&8 x 16. They are ugly, which is fine by me as I would like to have them blasted and do an RSR finish.

Search tells me that they have been fit to narrow body cars, but I would like to know what must be done in the rear to make them fit. I would also appreciated pictures and get some insight on tire sizing as well as ideas for spacers for the front.

Thanks,
Ken
