Can anyone tell me what the clearance between the inside lip of a 6" or 7" Fuchs and the body is please? My car hasn't arrived yet to measure it myself.

Happy New Year all from Down Under.

It can vary from car to car or be different on the left hand side compared to the right. This is due to variability in the construction of these vehicles. On my '72, 6"x16 Fuchs fit nicely on the rear but my 7" Fuchs have no chance, I'd have to pull out the guards or roll the lips in a little, something I didn't want to do. No problem with guard clearance on the front for 7" Fuchs. I think it best you wait for the vehicle then measure. If the car is 4 stud you can still check by holding on the Fuchs with one bolt - just don't drive it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

What part of Australia are you from? Here in the West, I have only seen one 914 and that's mine!
