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. Greg |

Thanks Mark,
The 6" and 7" Fuchs have the same backspace, the extra inch is on the outer lip which is the more obvious issue. Using the 3 piece wheels you can use a wider inner barrel and thinner outer lip..... i.e. 6" barrel and 1" lip is almost the same as a 7" Fuchs. If there is room on the inside you could go to a 6.5" barrel and affectively have a wheel that is 8" bead to bead, a gentle massage on the fender as you say would also be required. |
