Recently purchased 74 abandoned 914-6 conversion project with Professionally fitted factory PN steel flares. Much work is done including conversion to 5 lug. Car currently has Fuchs 16" 7's & 8's. Car is in Build & have 3.0 close to ready to go in so has never been driven by me. Plan to autocross. Hope to move 8's to the front. My question is will Fuchs 9's fit the rear with the flares? Would I need to do something to make it happen? Does anyone know anybody who has actually done this? I'm a new member so appreciate any help. Thanks!!

I have 9 x 17 Lindsey wheels with the 911 turbo 9 x 16 Fuchs offset and they fit with 245 tires. They actually have more inboard offset than the 911 8 x 16 Fuchs. So you can space them to get the optimum fit. There are wheel offset charts posted on Pelican that are helpful with the comparison. There are others here that have run the 9 x 16s, hopefully they will chime in. Good Luck Here's a pic of the Lindseys mounted.
