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'm running 16x8's on all 4 corners & love the look. I really prefer the 16x8's over the 16x9. The dish is just so much deeper on the 9's. I don't see the benefit of a 9 over an 8. You'll fit the same tire on both. So for me I'd rather run 8's front & rear. I like the 951 16x8's too as the offset is great
